SummerFest

A lot of fun!

The first weekend of June has become the weekend for our annual school fundraiser that we refer to as our SummerFest. This year we were able to have our 4th annual SummerFest at a larger place, the Bradford Mall parking lot. And the weather turned out to be perfect! We have sunburns to prove it. :)

There was a lot of effort put into the sale and it drew a fair amount of people. Since this is only our 4th try we are still developing our systems and it's getting better. (Hey, the first year it snowed...we called it the Fall Festival and had it in October that time.)

Our flagship product: Kev's Best BBQ

I managed to take most of my pictures while we were setting up. After that it was too busy.

Where's all the people...Oh it's not 10:00 yet.

For those who didn't want chicken (not sure who wouldn't) we had a few other items.

French Fries, Sausage, Burgers

Oh they were good, made right on the spot.

Timbits!

Doesn't that just make you hungry?

This was my stand, lemonade, sweet tea, and candy. Big thanks to my parents for coming and helping.

And lots of Baked goods

And then we had more fun!

Our newest addition this year was the information/ticket booth. The tickets were $1.00 each and could be used for the wagon rides, barrel train, or a snake picture.

Snakes!

One of the school patrons has several pet snakes. For 1 ticket you could get your picture taken with one.

If you happen to know this wonderful lady, ask her how much this pose cost :)

A lot less expensive pose :)

 

Andy, the owner of this writhing creature.

Somehow my son got 4 pictures.

Horse rides and wagon rides!

Zeke brought these beautiful Belgians to pull the wagon.

Kyle leading "Muddy" around.

And an early shot of the barrel train.

Petting Zoo

There were indeed more than 2 pigs, we had 1 rabbit, and some guinea pigs as well and of course the snakes. No, animals were harmed in the petting zoo although from the noise that the pigs made you would have thought we were serving bacon.

And last but not least, the "bouncy house".

Between this and the barrel train, my 2 year old was entertained most of the day.

We didn't exactly make a proportional amount of money to the hours spent in preparing for the day, however it was fun and gave us lots of exposure for the school and church.

I would also like to say a really big THANK YOU to Kevin and the others who worked so hard to make this happen.
