Third Annual Peach Festival Draws Crowds

By 10:30 a.m., the Kitchen Crew had sold 28 homemade peach pies and there was a short wait for Crystal, the Face Painter. The weather was almost perfect for a summer day in August. People lingered at tables enjoying peach crisp, peach cobblers and peach muffins. Some walked the Labyrinth. Children earnestly completed drawings at the "Coloring Contest" center.

Winners Announced

Ann Marie Sanderson won first in the story narrative category with her drawing entitled, "The 1st Peach Arrives". Rhys Williams, age 5, took first for most original. And Laura Rau and Ciera Bachman tied for first in best drawing of a peach. Dylana Labenberg is also recognized for a colorful butterfly. Congratulations to all the artists.
All the drawings are on display in the Parish Hall.

"Thank You, All"

A "huge thank you" to everyone for worked, baked, and donated items. Both the entertainment and advertising were underwritten and those costs did not come out of our profits. We cannot name everyone here and hope you all know that in mentioning these few, we recognize all parish members. Barbara Schlosser, Kitchen; Ken Schaffner, Parish Yard Sale Table; Frank Schlosser and Mack West, physical arrangements and Betsy Diely, Labyrinth.

The Bottom Line

We anticipate raising $1300 this year. This is $300 over 2006.
