Image
Maria Bailey of MomSelect has a passion for helping moms build their business. For the last 3 years, she's been working with Huggies to create a program that empowers mom business owners with the money and information they need to build their businesses. Maria's first success was talking Huggies into launching the Huggies MomInspired grant program, www.HuggiesMomInspired.com , which awards $15,000 grants to mom inventors. In 2010, The Huggies brand introduced its MomInspired grant program, providing inventive moms with the resources and seed capital they need to help transform viable product ideas into successful new businesses, or take their businesses to the next level. In its inaugural round of submissions, the program solicited almost 400 applications and awarded $15,000 each to 12 inspired moms to help fund their business startups based on innovative baby or child care products inspired by motherhood. Grant-worthy examples include: o Allyson Phillips - TILTY CUP o Amy Baxt

So...that goes to show you that a circus is NOT just a circus. It is only a TRUE circus if it is a Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus! First off, we had GREAT seats! 7th row...right up front! This next few pictures are of the opening show. After the opening we went right into horses.
