Success!

The fundraiser was a huge success! And it was a total blast too! We had about 130 people attend, and raised a whopping $2500+ dollars! INCREDIBLE!

There really was a little something for everyone. We had Silpada Jewelry...
PartyLite Candles....
Lots and lots of home baked goodies!
Did I mention lots of home baked goodies? Yup-I thought so!
Designer inspired purses....
Custom made jewelry...
Great deals on food and drinks, and lots of pink ribbon give-aways too.
Hats, Custom made lip balm and soaps...
And perfect weather!!
The shade was a popular place to relax with a burger.
The boys at the BBQ were busy all day long!
Popcorn and nachos were big sellers too.
There was also Tastefully Simple....
A poker tournament....
$10 haircuts, eyebrow waxing and chair massages...
Plenty of room, and lots to keep everyone busy.
Towards the end of the evening, yours truly did the raffle.
People were very interested in the raffle, and I think we had about 45 gifts to give away!
And the lucky winner is....
Shirley...
And Kelli...
And John (our poker winner- he won $280 in the pot!)
And so many others! Yup, we had a great time....
The last, and "Grand Prize" - a $100 Mortons Steakhouse Gift card, went to our friend Richard. I was tickled that Richard won this- he'd volunteered his whole day to BBQ for our fundraiser! He certainly deserves a nice meal!
He was very surprised and happy!
Needless to say, we sold a LOT of raffle tickets!

More to come on some of the other fun, but I've gotta get some sleep!
