Thank You for a Successful Harvest Festival

Thank you to everyone who supported the Veneta Harvest Festival this past weekend. We had over 30 volunteers and generated over $3,800 in net proceeds from sponsors, donations, vendor booth fees and other festival activities. The Festival provided a variety of food, merchant, farm and non-profit vendors that were all very successful. The First Annual Pie Baking Contest was a huge success with 27 pies entered. After the judging was completed, each pie was sold by the slice. More than 70 slices of pie were sold, raising nearly $100.

Of course, this event would not have been successful had it not been for our sponsors, contributors and volunteers. Volunteers during the day of the festival donated over 120 hours of time, helping to cut pie, direct visitors and answer questions about the new center.

Although the festival was a benefit for the Service Center, local area kids got involved as well, baking pies, enjoying a miniature golf game, playing in the jumping castle and even getting their faces painted.

And what is a festival without music? A special thanks goes out to our dedicated musician who supported this event and to Stillwaters and Apropos Musique for continuing to be such a great partner to the Fern Ridge Service Center.

This event along with the Benefits by the Glass benefit back in June have helped bring more awareness to the Service Center building project and educate the Fern Ridge residents about the needs that are met out of this facility.

Thanks again for everyone's support. Help Us Build! Help Us Serve! It all starts with you.
