Who: Forestdale Baptist Church Family
The day started off with the weather looking gloomy but the day got better with the sun coming out every so often with a lot of clouds; it also was cold and windy. The seniors had a booth with hot cider. The seniors raffled off 2 Apple Pies donated and made by Sue Willey (one of the seniors) and 4 Homemade Oatmeal Breads made and donated by me (Judy, Sr Leader). We also had a game for the kids where they threw a ball through his head and when they won they received a piece of candy as a prize. The kids seem to have a lot of fun as did some of the seniors that volunteered that day.
The seniors also had a huge jar of M&Ms that you had to guess @ how many M&Ms were in the jar. We had 240 people guess how many M&Ms were in the jar! Brenda Loud came the closest to the exact amount guessing 5,325 M&Ms. The total count was 5,375! She was off by only 50. We had some of our seniors helping out throughout the day and they were: June Gordon, Janet Gage, Drema Cunningham, Lee Thomas and Stacey Bowen. Chris Brown, one of the kid's from Youth Ministry, did a wonderful job @ helping out.
I want to thank everyone that donated candy & pies and for their help at our church's Fall Festival this year. Thank you to Stacey Bowen for her candy donation and her help with helping making things for my posters and other stuff with her computer skills. Also, Lee Thomas for his mega help counting all the M&Ms and donation of the candy etc., Becky Gilfoy for donating the clown & the sign on the jar, and to Chris & Kelly Lerch for the Apple Cider and their crock pot for the day. I really appreciated everybody's help throughout the day. And also a HUGE Thank you to Glen for his help.
We had a very successful day and everyone had a great time!! ;) Thank you again for everyone's help and I love you all very much,
Judy, Sr Ministry Leader ;)
