We surpassed our goal and we had so much fun. With- out all of the great items donated by the businesses, vendors, crafters and individuals as well as all of the shop- pers this could not have happened. THANK YOU EVERYONE. We would also like to thank the QIA for the use of the building. We had great volunteers and Richard Trusty was a wonderful MC again.
