Saturday, May 10, 2008, 10AM - 7PM
WHERE:
Blue Bubble Ballroom

Magic 105.3, the Creative Arts Studio of San Antonio (CASSA), The Motherhood Foundation, PrimaDonna Productions, and Rome Talent Agency present the Mamapalooza Festival, an annual celebration of mothers and all women in the arts; the local festival, part of a worldwide event, will raise awareness and funds for The Battered Women and Children's Shelter of Bexar County (www.fvps.org) and The Heidi Search Center, Inc.
