It Takes A Village To Raise … a Carnival Hostess
In case you missed it, The Family Curator recently published two posts featuring information gathered from the organizers of several Blog Carnivals. So, whether you’re writing for the Festival of Postcards (shameless self-promotion!) or one of the other genealogy carnivals you might want to take a look at these 2 articles:
Grab the Gold Ring with a Memorable Carnival Post, Part 1
Blog Writing 101: Grab the Gold Ring with A Memorable Carnival Post, Part 2
It’s very encouraging when people like Denise Levenick step forward to offer their support to the community of carnival bloggers. I know that the Festival of Postcards would not be going as well today if it had not received support from, among others experienced Carnival host footNote Maven (with advice and a logo), tech-savvy Thomas MacEntee (with promotion through Geneabloggers) and Postcardy Lynne (as my resident deltiologist!) – plus suggestions and feedback from numerous Festival bloggers.
It really does take a village to raise a Carnival Hostess. Thank you all!

Reverse of Postcard -A little bit of philately
The 1942 postmark shows that this postcard was mailed right in the heat of WWII. The King George VI stamp was part of a special War Issue of morale-boosting stamps. One series showed King George VI in the uniforms of different branches of the Armed Forces while others depicted war technology and other types of Canadian production that supported the Allied effort.
