What a Day!
Beautiful Quilts + Tasty Treats +
Great Crowds = Fantastic Fall Festival
Camp guests were greeted by the aroma of bratwurst, Italian sausage, and hot dogs grilling over hickory charcoal. As they entered the Dining Hall, the sweet smell of pumpkin pie welcomed them. Thirty two quilts were hanging in the Activity Room awaiting Auctioneer Jason Knapp to open bidding on those beautiful creations, crafted by loving hands in thousands of hours. Every 15 minutes a Fall Festival participant received a door prize. Some received wooden quilt racks, another a quilt purchased by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and donated as a door prize, another received a $250 scholarship for the 2010 summer camp programs. Snuggled in warm blankets and surrounded by blazing fall colors, guests enjoyed hay rack rides around the 100 acre complex while others climbed the tower, tossed a bean bag, or honed their archery skills. When the last quilts and gifts had been auctioned, the camp cooks served a delicious chili supper with homemade rolls and scrumptious pies. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans donated one dollar for every three raised during the day. Over $7,800 were raised. It was a fantastic Fall Festival! IDE
