We participated in this year's event at dinosaur gardens. We gave out over 500 pieces of candy and 200 brochures. Great fun was had by all.
Thanks to Karen, Laurie and Robin for getting us ready and participating in the project. Karen did the decorating, purchased the candy and helped hand it out, and was vital in providing transportation.
Thanks to Laurie for the genesis of the idea as well as getting the trifolds ready.
Thanks to Robin for dressing as a roadside cleanup person and handing out candy using trash grabber; it was a big hit especially with the little ones.
Pastor Bill handed out brochures and talked to parents as they came by. It was a lot of fun. We look forward to doing it again next year!
