Fall Frol ic Raises Spirits and Funds!
The Community Came Out to Eat, Drink and Be Fabulous! |

volunteers with flowers donated
by Moscarillo's and pumpkins

It was wonderful to see so many of you (more than 160 adults and 20 children) last Saturday evening at One Fabulous Fall Frolic!
The evening was cool and clear and the colors beautiful up at Ski Sundown with great music by Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem, delicious food donated or discounted by many local farms and restaurants, fires blazing outside for s'mores and the lodge decorated with lit pumpkins carved by VoAg and Honors students from Northwest Regional #7 High School and local Girl Scouts. Plus, the desserts and hors d'oeuvres made by more than 20 volunteers!
Just before the music started, the NHLT presented Tom Klebart with its first Founder's Award. Tom dedicated more than 25 years of service to NHLT as a Board member, many of them as President and Treasurer. We are grateful for his wonderful contributions to the organization and for all he has done to advance land conservation in the community.
Huge thanks go to all who helped make the event a success. A small and extremely hardworking committee planned and organized this new fundraiser. We thank Cindy Bohan, Susie Horn, Madeline McClave, Karen Meares, and Judy Stewart for seeing it through. Many individuals contributed beyond the ticket price and we appreciate their generosity. NHLT is grateful to all of our Fall Frolic sponsors and donors including these farms and businesses:
and their time to support the event
The Meat House for deeply discounting pulled pork and marinated, grilled chicken
MarWin Farm for donating and serving stuffed chicken and duck breasts
Marandino's for deep discount on their own cole slaw
Barden Farm for donating butternut squash (yummy lasagna made by volunteer Karen) and loaning lots of gourds
Radwick's Coffee and Sandwich for sponsorship
