Daddy John: Well, we've so far survived the 2018 Sasha Festival. Our first! Upon arrival the first day, we felt a little overwhelmed and so stood off to the sides in the beginning. However, a number of other attendees were nice enough to march right over to us and introduce themselves, and that did the trick. We also made sure to seek out other Sashaphiles we've met through our blog and the Facebook group.
Since it was our first festival, Steve brought Sasha, his first boy with him and I brought mine, Benjamin Roy (BR). All four of us were so excited to be there that I forgot to take any photos!
I got it together on Day 2. I brought my second boy, Pete Dakota and Steve had no choice but to bring Emile. Emile had been insisting the entire time since we registered that he simply must be taken along in order to meet Dr. Pat (Pellerito).

Pete Dakota: I've got your raffle tickets for you, Daddy John!
Emile: Oui! I shall tell you which items to bid upon.
This year's special display was themed Four Seasons of Sasha and there was a chance for photo ops once the display dolls left to get some dinner. Pete jumped right in and even the normally reserved Emile joined in.
Pete Dakota: How come we never get to go to the lake?
Emile: I must pick out ze best citrouille for zis year's Jacques-O'Lantern.
Emile: Zut alors! Eet ees très froid!
Pete: And it's cold, too. Daddy John! It's almost time for the auction!
Indeed, it was time for the auction. I had my eye on a motorcycle that was up for bid 'cause I knew BR would just love it. He gets so little opportunity to wear his leather jacket...
Drat. Outbid. I hope BR isn't too disappointed.
However, I did win my second choice item--an outfit from the 2015 Sasha Festival. Pete Dakota has promised to model it at the dinner tonight, but he also wanted to give a little preview...
Pete: See y'all at the chuckwagon, pardners! Strap on them feedbags, y'hear?

So very pleased to hear that all you lads are enjoying the Festival...though disappointed that your two girls didn't get to go along too. (Hope that you have bought them something back from the sales tables as girls especially expect little gifts on your return home!)
Brilliant - you’ve got stuck right in and are all enjoying yourselves - that is what the Sasha Festival is all about. I hope it will be the first of many you attend in the future and maybe we’ll get to meet you one day (we’re saving up to attend another festival, hopefully 2020).
Glad you are both having a great time, along with the boys of course, the lovely thing about Sasha people is no one's a stranger for long !
Loving Pete's hat and look forward to seeing him riding the range later :)
So glad you have been having a wonderful time, and so sorry I couldn't join you after all. Henry was sooo looking forward to meeting the lads and is very disappointed, but he is pleased to see them enjoying the festival and is looking forward as am I to hearing more!
So glad you were able to go and I am sure it will not be your last. A fantastic post,thanks for sharing and I hope to see more.
It was wonderful to meet you both at the Festival. I wish we had met earlier so we could have spent more time together. I hope you had a great time! I look forward to following your blog and hopefully to see you both in Cincinnati next year. 😊 xxx
This sounds like fun. Maybe I should stop buying Sashas and save up for attending a festival in the future instead?
Looking forward to more photos - since this was "Part One"...
Hi Ursula -
We highly recommend it. We had a wonderful time. Where else do you get to hang out with really cool people, talk about Sashas, look at beautiful Sashas, buy Sasha things and get lovely presents? We would love to meet you! If you can't make it to the States, they have a Sasha Celebration Weekend in the UK in the spring and a Chat and Snap in the autumn.
