Despite the rain and cold weather, many of you came out to support the Church, and for that, we are very grateful. 

As soon as we entered the gates of Marian Schneider's estate, we could hear the soft sounds of Charlie Wayne's flute drifting across the pond and returning to touch our hearts ever so lightly; accompanied by the gentle rhythmic beating of a hollow drum, we began our journey of self discovery.  Our hearts were now open, and Sammye Jo Harvey gently guided us back to a time when we were innocent children, and reminded us of our God given power.  It was truly a magical experience.

Barb Pinkerton had a wonderful display of her artwork.  Who knew that Barb had such a talent!  Her animal portraits and gourds are awesome.  Ken (Ironhorse) and Edna added to the Native American theme with an impressive display of Native American jewelry and other items.  Please visit their stores which are located next to the Circle K gas station on Gainesville Hwy.

To execute an event like this takes a team, and each team member is important.  So many thanks to members of the parking team, the greeters, the refreshments team, Shirley Pope for marketing, Herb Ernst for engineering.  They were real troopers - standing by their posts in the rain and cold weather.  

Marian Schneider's estate is breathtaking, and we thank her for opening her home and sharing such a beautiful tranquil setting.   

It was a great turnout, in spite of the weather, and we raised over $900.00!
