What an amazing day.
So, much time was spent, organizing, preparing, emailing, bugging others, shopping, and pulling it all together, and...... it was worth every second. Even if we had earned $100.00 it would had been worth it, but we when handed Jamie and Sean over 6,000.00 it was amazing.
Each person that helped out, from the boutique vendors, the magician Paul Brewer, all the people who donated raffle and auction items, the friends and family that worked tirelessly making french fries, hot dogs, snow cones, painted faces and manned the bounce house a big old THANK YOU!!!
Plus, thank you to everyone that came to support our cause. Every dollar helped. The great thing about events like this is it allows everyone to help. I know few people knowing that all they could afford to give to a family in need was $10 would actually do so. But coming to this carnival whether you could spend $5 or $500 you were able to help and feel good about doing it.
I was so excited to see Chase playing and watching the magician. He may only be 3 and not understand what is going on all the time, but it was happiness on his face watching the rabbit come out of the magicians hat surrounded by over a hundered friends and family.
Thank you to all!
