What a blast! We cooked about 800 hot dogs and 100 hamburgers. We didn't serve all of them, but definitely a good proportion. Our float was fantastic, our inflatables were enjoyed by many children, and lots of local people got to know that we are a lively, warm, and generous congregation.
I learned today that some of our neighbors thought Buck Mountain Episcopal Church was just a historic building -- a monument -- not an actual church being used by an actual congregation. Today, they learned otherwise! (Down the road about 1/4 mile, there is such a church building, owned by the Baptist congregation nearby; they use it on Christmas Eve. Maybe that's where people got the idea that we were in the "historic but unused" category.)
I could not be more thrilled at how congregation members turned out to make this a wonderful event. Their energy and generosity are second to none!
And thanks to our good Lord for great weather, happy crowds, and a spirit of hospitality!
