Harvest Festival

Our ladies group at church puts on a Harvest Festival each year.  This year they wanted to be more family-friendly and added entertainment, a milking cow, face painting, cake walks, dog show and a live scarecrow.

Milking cow-what fun!




 I helped out by making a gallon of beef vegetable soup, crocheting three baby blankets and manning one of the cash boxes.  A lot of ladies made soup and it was combined and sold along with a chicken salad or pimento cheese sandwich.  The next day we sold the leftovers in containers to the folks after church services.

Everyone agreed that this was the best festival we have ever had.  It was a ton of fun.   The entertainment kept people in the room buying craft items, jewelry and food.  We did not make as much money as last year, but we all enjoyed it more.
Scarecrow
I went home with a cake that I won in the cake walk, some glass vintage dessert cups, earrings and a necklace.
