We had a great time last night. It was a little crazy having 75+ people in the church due to the weather but we made it work! :) I hope everyone had a good time!! Hopefully next year we can utilize outside and have more games.

I want to especially thank everyone who helped moderate a game including some of our older siblings....Sidney, Kaitlyn, Trey, Mallory, and Autumn. Thank you to all the parents who brought baked goods to be 'raffled' off. Thank you to all those who donated candy for our games. THANK YOU ALL for helping make our fall festival a success.
