First Fall Festival

My nieces, Molly and Eve, go to school at Greenville Classical Academy. For the past few years, the school has done Fall and Spring Festivals to help raise money. This year was the biggest event that they have ever had with over 90 vendors, a kid zone, concessions, a silent auction, and much more!!

Today marks the first time that I have ever participated in a Fall Festival as a vendor. I have been a "goer" to these events all my life, but never the seller. It was a nice twist. I believe I shall do it again one day.

I set up a Pampered Chef/Canned Goods booth. I was able to give out PC info, sell some PC products, and make some money on all the fun things that I have canned this summer. It was a great combo!

My sister in law, Crystal, was in charge of the Silent Auction. She did and AMAZING job getting donations from a ton of places!! There were various themed baskets, cookware, kitchen appliances, jewelry, toys, tons of gift cards (food, fun, lodging), etc. I could not believe all the places that donated things for this event!!

For those of you that know David, you know that if he was there (and he was), we would walk away with at least something. He manned his battle station at a Canopy Zipline Tour in North GA and Indoor Skydiving in TN. Although he put in a valiant effort at trying to win both, thanks to a last minute bid from some random guy, he was only able to walk away with one - Indoor Skydiving.

We have talked for years about wanting to do that when we are in Pigeon Forge, but never wanted to pay that much to do it. Thanks to GCA's Fall Festival, we will be able to go at a MUCH lower price!!  

I wasn't going to buy anything (outside of the silent auction) until I saw this sign made by Nina who was a few booths down from mine. I thought it was way too cute to pass up. I mean, really?! Who doesn't love Elf?!
