*Thank you, Thank you* to the dozens of volunteers who helped to make the Potato Fest & the Apple Cider Fest a *big* success.

We thank each & every one of you, because without the 'team-work' & dedication, none of this is possible. May God bless you always. ~~~ *Another Big Thank You* to everyone who donated a record of over 200 baskets, the delicious goodies, the beautiful plants, & to the Activities Committee crew & friends who graciously donate their time pulling this fundraiser together every year.
