A "hopefully soon-to-be" annual event

Today, well tomorrow at 11 am, is the day that I will hope to become a part of something HUGE. A friend of mine has come up with a yearly fund-raising idea to help raise money for families in need in our area. This all started with Tommy Phillips, who is in need of a liver transplant, and can't afford the after-care meds on his own.

His wife, Dawn, works for our city. Of course, like most of us, they do not wish to ask for help. So, someone else did on behalf of them, and here we are. I am in charge of {surprise!} concessions, t-shirts, and something else I can't remember, oops. We hope to make this an on-going event and every year we will get nominations for a new family in need.

I have come up with the idea to do Pink shirts with red writing. This actually works out great since the fund-raiser will be happening the day before Valentine's Day. The plan is a pagaent, for boys and girls. No glitz and glam, just kids. And since the main sponsor is The Pine MOuntain Gold Museum {equipped with on site farm animal exhibit}, instead of talent, it is going to be "Best Farm Animal Call". Cute, huh?

I thought about putting my kids in it, but they would steal the show, and it wouldn't be any fun for anyone else. So, I guess helping out and running my Kuppy Kakes booth will be fine for me. Above, under Tommy's name is the link, so if anyone would like to donate ANYTHNG at all, you can. Any little bit helps out tremendously!

I am pretty excited about this. It started out at the museum {which isnt very big} and once the city manager heard about it, he loved it! Now we are at the "v-plex" {HUGE place} with decorations and help and a lot more space for people, sponsors, and kids. LOVE IT.
