A special thanks goes to Sara Erwin for her donations of decorations, time and
helping get our Cowboy Storyteller, Donnie Collop. Jennifer Taylor, Julie
Hettinger, Lisa Fisher, and Tiffany Darnel donated candy bars, marshmallows or
graham crackers for the s'mores. Thank you! Lacey Fisher provided the voice for
the advertisement on the radio. Joyce Holdren got the square dancers for the
evening and I believe all had a good time, them and us! Thank you Ms.
Becker for making our cowboy, cowgirl and horse for the photo booth. They were
adorable! Special thanks to Cathy March for making our Grub and Cactus Juice.
Of course, the evening couldn't happen without the teachers who help plan and
work the activities. For all the families attending the evening, I hope you had
a good time. Thank you to one and all and I hope I didn't forget anyone!
