We completed the Great Urban Race!

Hi, Everyone,

As some of you know, Susie and I participated in the Great Urban Race in Seattle last Saturday. For those of you not familiar with the race, it is a 1 day race through the streets of Seattle, similar to the Amazing race on tv. It was so much FUN! We had 12 clues and had to complete 11 challenges in 5 hours. We could only walk/run or use public transportation to get where we needed to go. We could use lap tops and cell phones to call people for help.

In one challenge, we had to find sign language interpreters at a park on Capitol Hill. Each teammate had to sign a question to one of the interpreters. You had to figure out on your own how to sign the question. Thanks to a friend of Susie's we where able to complete the challenge. In another challenge, we had to make our way to the Comedy Underground for charades. One team member had to get up on stage and act out the words while the other team member guessed the answer. Guess which one of us got up on stage? That's right, Susie. We were part of a human pyramid, took a picture with a street musician and lots more. The clues took us from the Space Needle to Capitol Hill to Pikes Place Market to Qwest field.

We completed the challenge in 4 hours and can't wait to do it again next year. Here are a couple of picture from our fun experience.

Susie & I will be in the Great Urban Race - Seattle

If you've ever seen the Amazing Race on TV, you know how much fun it is to watch. Couples of varying relationships (domestic partners, mother-daughter, father-son, spouses, brother-sister, etc.) are tasked with making their way around the world, stopping at various destinations, completing certain tasks and doing it with very little money.

There is now something similar on the city level...the Great Urban Race. Seattle will be hosting the Great Urban Race on Saturday, August 29 and my daughter Susie and I will be participating. We'll be blogging and tweeting along the way, so stay tuned for our fun adventures. We can't wait!

Cheryl’s Unique Boutique Hosts Grand Opening Celebration on Aug. 15 & Collects School Supplies for Kent Salvation Army

August 4, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cheryl’s Unique Boutique Hosts Grand Opening Celebration on August 15 & Collects School Supplies for Kent Salvation Army

Kent, Washington, August 4, 2009 – Cheryl Wright, owner of Cheryl’s Unique Boutique, is celebrating the boutique’s grand opening with an in-store customer event on Saturday, August 15. From 1 to 4 p.m., customers and guests will be treated to refreshments, music, sales and prize giveaways at the boutique on West Meeker Street in downtown Kent. The public is invited to attend, and everyone who brings a friend will get a free latte, compliments of Cheryl’s Unique Boutique.

After working in the property management and mortgage industries, Wright opened the distinctive store late last year, fulfilling a lifelong dream of owning her own shop. In the midst of a recession, Wright felt it was a good time to offer local shoppers an affordable place to purchase merchandise for men, women and children, including clothing, shoes, jewelry, accessories and more. In an unusual twist, the boutique also offers lattes, mochas and houseplants grown in the boutique’s greenhouse.

“Everything in the store is priced at under $30, so everyone can afford to shop here,” Wright said.

Since airing a new TV commercial, customers have been eager to find Wright’s store. Cheryl’s Unique Boutique is located at 406 West Meeker Street, near Bev’s Cucina and across from the Meeker Street Emporium which is closing later this month. As a Kent resident for more than 10 years, Wright chose downtown Kent for her boutique because she wanted to work close to home and contribute to the revitalization of downtown.

“I just love downtown Kent, and I want to see it thrive,” Wright said.

As an active member of the community, Wright has also agreed to be a donation site for Kent Salvation Army’s school supply drive for Kent and Auburn schools. From August 1 through 31, the boutique is accepting school supply donations during normal store hours for grades kindergarten through 12. Needed items include wide-ruled paper, rules, pens, pencils and erasers, backpacks, glue, crayons, markers and other school supplies.

Cheryl’s Unique Boutique is run by Wright, her daughter Susie and their dog Lilly, an energetic puppy that greets guests from behind the corner. The store is open Monday through Saturday and features new and resale items for men, women and children, all priced below $30. For more information about Cheryl’s Unique Boutique, contact Wright or visit the store’s new website at www.cherylsuniqueboutiquellc.com or blog at http://cherylsuniqueboutique.blogspot.com.
