Fall Festival Update:

The Fall Festival was very well attended – there were about 89 people in attendance (maybe more). 
 
Casey Wine provided hay rides which were a big hit.  There was a great craft and play area set up for the children.  The food was a big hit...there were hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, drinks and desserts as well as popcorn from our great popcorn machine.  Everyone enjoyed the day especially with the wonderful music provided by Rich Giersch, Gabe and Pastor Sonya, David Elliott, and Fred Pollock.
 
Thank you to everyone who attended the festival as well as provided their services to make this a successful event.  Approximately $1900.00 was raised for the scholarship fund.
