Lloyd - been so very busy til today with our Nekoosa GIANT Pumpkinfest since mid September, and have been going 12 hrs a day since Sunday Oct.1 til last night. Hardly ever got on any site forums recently.
Now that the fest is done, can get back to semi - normal life! Still very busy, but nothing like it has been leading up to the fest.
Our fest is in a park near the Wisconsin River, and we got over 4 inches of rain the days before the fest, and the 1st day of the fest, so we had a mud mess as well. Still waiting to see what the city is going to charge the fest for the lawn damage. Saturday and Sunday nites, and all day Monday we spent getting vendors out from being stuck. Really glad that is done!
The Nekoosa GIANT Pumpkin Fest gives a lot of $ back to community and youth groups that help us and that we feel that can benefit from the donations, so we are hoping that we can break even with our high costs of renting big generators, big tents, prize money for the Pumpkin weigh off, and prize money and trophys for car show, etc. for the carnival and food vendors. We hope we can break even, (as our Saturday crowd was down because of continous rain) and have any money left to give to the local groups. There are 11 of us volunteers that run the show. LOTS and LOTS of work.
So let me know with any pix, and we'll go from there.
