Well, well, well! What a night!!!
Last night was amazing! It was the first Fall Festival for us at Calais! We had a final count of 90 in attendance! What a great way to reach out to the community and have fun as a church family! Lots of planning went into this event. The ladies of Calais are amazing and have such a wonderful spirit! They all stepped up to the plate and helped make the Festival a HUGE success! There were lots of games to be enjoyed by children of all ages! Of course there were lots and lots of bags of candy to give out as prizes. Some adults, children at heart, dipped unto those bags also.
Since we are Baptist, no event would be complete without food. You know, since that’s the way Fellowship is really spelled! Pastor and I were both introduced to Hot Chicken Sandwiches this year! Judy, they were delish! Man was there a lot of food to eat! Hot Chicken Sandwiches and Sloppy Joes, 5 different soups and Hotdogs! Not to mention all the desserts!
We ended the night off with a campfire and singing! First to perform was our Junior Hand Bell Choir with “Praise Him Praise Him All Ye Little Children”. During the campfire we had a visitor show up. No one yet knows who the guest was. It is definitely the talk of Calais. This visitor would not talk, had a mask on, and sat down beside of Pastor on the hay bale for the singing. After 15 minutes or so our guest casually gets up and walks down the road. He, or she, obviously didn’t want anyone to know who they were because they got in their gray Jeep Liberty and backed down the road, almost hit a buggy and ran into the ditch, they turned around and continued to drive home! If anyone knows the identity of this individual Please reveal yourself. I am baffled and your picture made it into this blog!
After finally coming down from our sugar rush we finally made it to bed late last night, still wondering who that person was, and thinking about all those parents who had the PLEASURE of getting those sugar high children to bed. I think they were still bouncing off the walls this morning at church!
Thank you again Calais family for your hard work in helping making the Fall Festival a HUGE success!
