Yesterday was the Big Day! We had a Pumpkin Carving Contest, goodie bags, and a grand time. Next year, it will be even bigger and better. Mike (Waldport Photogifts) was fantastic. He had a great time taking photos of the kids (all ages and sizes) and was able to show off what he can do at his store. He's also a kid at heart and carved his own pumpkins too. I'll try to get a link or post some of the photos, but we are a little cautious since kids are involved. We were all exhausted at the end of the day. There was also a craft show down the street that is just getting started. Our goal was to get some traffic going through the area and we did so well that Jo, from Tropical Treats, who was here handing out free popcorn, had to leave to go help out at her store. The Chamber President and several board members came by for while. Like I said, a good time was had by all. There was also some filming going on for a movie around the corner...I guess that was pretty exciting too.
We have pumpkins left, and goodie bags. Some pumpkins were left and are now on display.
Sigh, if only Chuck had been here to play music (he he).
It's Sunday and there's lots of traffic going through. We saw bunches of Corvettes yesterday and I've already seen several this morning (although no sign of Mike yet). I did get a call this morning which I returned. One of the first place winners will be down today to pick up her award!! At least I think that's what she said, her mom said she was doing handstands through the house last she saw her. What fun.
Now, we're planning to do something in conjunction with the Diabetic Run/Walk in November, and we have a Santa, but not a date yet.
Awk!
