UNDER THE HANSEN BIG TOP

That is our theme for the upcoming carnival that I am co-chairing. The big day is Friday. It has been a whirlwind week trying to finish last minute things, but I believe it is all coming together nicely.

Silent auction baskets are wrapped & ready to be sold, game prizes are ready, cakes are ordered for the cake walk, the kettle corn guys confirmed they are coming, volunteers are set up, game tickets are selling nicely, we are OUT of raffle tickets (a good sign) and the halls of Hansen are slowly be invaded by cut out animals, clowns & circus tents. The windows are all painted to match the circus theme! Food & cash donation to buy food are coming into as well. We are ready to feed circus goer's dinner & entertain them all night long!

I guess at this point, I sit back, relax & hope it all works out! I'll be glad when Saturday morning arrives...then it is on to the Hansen Book Fair, Teddy Bear Tea for the Festival of Trees and Cub Scout popcorn....
