The Fall Festival

What a delightful day!  There was a nip in the air, and a good time was had by all.  One Prayer Shawl found its rightful owner as did two Prayer Cloths.
Many families were introduced to the Prayer Shawl Ministry and several families told stories of how the Prayer Shawl Ministry had touched them previously.

Martha, one of the original founders of the Prayer Shawl Ministry, took first place in the Bake-Off with her famous pound cake.  There was food flowing from all sides of the Campground.  Peanut butter, chocolate pecan, and the mysterious cherry-vanilla fudge were offered inside the cabin along with Captain Crunch peanut butter "surprises".  The same treats were offered on a table just outside the cabin along with chocolate pecan toffee.

Len had hand-made ceramics and other art on the porch of the cabin which was a great draw.  Thank you, Len.

Carleen and Lisa were in appropriate dresses of the era for a country fair.

And Barbara was in overalls and a sweater dressed for the weather.

What would we change for next year?  Not much!
    Maybe add 10 degrees to the temperature with God's help.

    Bring tablecloths for the tables. 
    Bring paper napkins for the candy. 
    Make a white story board for the Prayer Shawl Ministry for inside. 
    Bring the brochures we have for the Prayer Shawl Ministry.
    Make a large sign for outside the cabin.

For the first real effort at the Fall Festival, it went very well.  I requested the same cabin from Danette for next year if it's okay with everyone else.

Love and blessings,

Beverly
