Announcements: 

  • Congrats to Dr. Liggett for winning the big pumpkin award again!!
  • Pumpkin Show Booth – challenges before the show but with the wonderful weather (after preview night) the following things happened:
    • We knew we would run out of pies so we stopped selling whole pies in order to maximize profit
    • We knew Friday we would not have enough ice cream for Saturday, so Velvet brought us everything they had (10 tubs at 4:10am). The Pumpkin Ice Cream in the tubs we use is only sold to us. 
    • Saturday: 4:30pm out of ice cream and 6:30pm out of pies
    • $11,643 profit for this year!!
    • We thank Tom Duvall who worked 8 shifts even with his painful back
    • 40 members did not work the booth, so we’ll encourage more participation next year – this is the biggest fundraiser of the year
