Sound the Trumpet Awards

Venetia and I had the pleasure of producing event décor for the 2009 Trumpet Awards earlier this year. In between managing a two-year-old and new baby (Venetia) and trekking to DC for the inauguration (me); we managed to turn around 100 favors in the shape of blue trumpets and blue handbags. In addition, we had too much fun coordinating red chocolate heel centerpieces for the “High Tea with High Heels” luncheon preceding the awards ceremony.

We also had the opportunity to attend the Trumpet Awards and see some of the best of the best in politics, business, arts and entertainment. The Trumpet Awards recognize black men and women as a valuable resource to this country – their contributions and accomplishments, including the part they play to ensure the continued vitality of the nation’s economy. This year celebrated numerous honorees including Pastor Paula White, Chris Tucker and Earvin Magic Johnson. Check out The Trumpet Awards, Sunday 8:00 PM EST on TV One. Check your local listings for stations and exact times, including re-broadcasts. Check out me and Venetia in the audience and definitely watch out for Chris Tucker’s trumpet dance!
