"Thank you" to everyone who helped make the cookie booth at the Bluegrass Festival a success.

From tent set up and take down, donating the goodies, working at the booth by selling the food, supervising the free drawings, and to those of you that stopped by and bought the goodies!

A big thank you also goes out to everyone that participated in the morning church service at the festival pavilion, to the Evangelism Team for donating funds for the bike drawing and the fish fry dinner tickets that we gave to the guests that attended our church service that morning, to the Missions Team for sponsoring the event and to Sandy Magyar for leading it. Everyone did a fantastic job and are appreciated very much.
