Digging for treasure!

We had our second Giant Haystack on Saturday, October 31. It was a spectacular day! The sun was shinning after what seemed like weeks of rain, we had tons of people, AWESOME volunteers, and just plain fun. We hide the numbered balls in the haystack for the kids to find and turn in for a prize like we did last year. We gave out bags of candy for each person and had a drawing for a "Family Movie Night" gift basket. We once again had free hot dogs, coffee, and hot cocoa. But this year, we added a kid's craft table, a bean bag toss, a toddler duck pond game, tattoos, family pictures (to be printed and mailed out with a letter), a drawing for two bikes and the most popular addition...the Quarter Cake Walk! We raised $133 for BGMC with that crazy cake walk! People stood in line to walk. That will be back next year for sure. The kids really liked the craft table, too.

Thanks to all who made it so fun and such a great success. May God bless all and especially our "hay guy" who delivers and picks up the hay and refuses to charge us for it!
