My, my, my Mimi
Mimi was spotted out and about in June.
Here she is at Eclectic by Nature on June 11, above; and at the Summer Solstice Festival on June 19, below. Yes, she was a real live doll - Janet Hendley, Greensboro Opera VP of Special Events.
I wonder where we'll see Mimi next...perhaps on Monday in the downtown Fun 4th Parade?
Do you want to bring Mimi to life? Do you have somewhere in mind for Mimi to stop by? Let us know! info@greensboroopera.org
