I just want to say a great big THANK YOU to everyone who helped with the Fall Family Fun Night. It was awesome! Everyone, especially the kids, really seemed to have a great time! It was such a neat experience and there were so many new faces! Wow, what an evening! Even though I was running around like a crazy woman, it was a blast!
The Hay Ride and the Costume Contests were a great hit. The kids loved them both! Sadly, we ran out of time and didn't get to do the pumpkin painting contest. But, that's ok. It was still a great night all in all! And how about that bonfire in our new fire pit! Oh, it was soooo waaarm! My only other regret is that I wasn't able to take pictures to post to my blog. If anyone has pictures let me know. I'd love to post some of the costumes! And if you didn't witness the costume contest, you missed out. We had some awesome costumes and even a couple of rappers who entertained us with a couple of songs. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we had super heros (Wonder Woman, SuperGirl), we had fairies, princesses, a Southern Belle, policeman, Hippie, astronaut, Starbucks Girl, Cheerleaders, Punk Rockers, Miss Behaved, Prisoners, Cat Woman, Camo Man, Green Man, and so many others.
The winners of the costume contest won gift cards to Baskin Robbins. Our winners were as follows (no names given for safety of children - just costumes)
0 to 5 years old - Policeman
KG through 5th Grade - Southern Belle & Night Princess (Tie); Rappers Snoop Dog 15 cent were the runners up
6th through 12th Grade - CatWoman
All of the children looked just great! It was tough on the judges to decide!
Fall Family Fun Night wouldn't have been possible without some very special people. I don't even know where to start in thanking everyone. You all did so much to help and it turned out just great! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Leaf & Scott, thanks for taking charge of the Hay Ride. That was a big job. Thanks so much to our costume contest judges - Mary, Sidney, Evelyn, Alex, Jessi! I think your job was tough, too. I know it was hard to judge with so many wonderful costumes. The kids' costumes were all so great and very creative! I think the costume contest was a hit...maybe we have a new PCC tradition?
Thanks also to Mary, Buddy, Mr. Robert, Rick, Crystal, Christy, Calvin, Paul T, Shirley, Connie, & Paul W & everyone else who helped out in all kinds of ways! I don't know who did what behind the scenes so please forgive me if I don't mention you. Just know that your hard work is greatly appreciated! (Plus I'm so tired right now - haven't been home before 8:30 p.m. the last two days so my memory ain't so hot.)
But I would be remiss if I also didn't thank my fellow PCC 'cohorts in crime' Renae, Ronnie, & Gene. You guys are awesome - always so supportive and ready to help. It's a joy and an honor to serve alongside of each of you!
Thank you, friends!
In His Love, Cathy
