*Many Thanks* to all of the dedicated workers who gave a lot of hours helping to bake, wrap, sticker, stack, and transport the bake goods to the Potato Festival and the Apple Cider Festival these past two weekends. Also, we are thankful to those who got up early to “man the booths” at the Festivals. As Father mentioned, it takes many, many hands to make this possible, and we had many, many hands on deck! We are so grateful that the calendar worked with us this year, and we had a week in-between the festivals to “re-group.” And...with the double oven, it didn’t have to run for 20 straight hours! THANK YOU, THANK YOU. May God bless you abundantly! --- AND...Many Thanks to all who visited & supported our booths at both festivals. We so appreciate your support & patronage. May God bless!!
