Recap - Fall Fest 2023
The early morning rain did not dampen our spirits at our 2023 Fall Fest!
Wow, what an incredible day for our community on Sunday, September 17! Thank you for joining us for Fall Fest! We had over 1,300 people join in the fun this past Sunday for a day of food, games, and live music. While our morning volunteers were drenched during set up, God blessed us with a lovely, brisk Sunday afternoon together. We are hoping you can provide feedback on the Fest via this survey to help us in planning for future years.
Thank you to the almost 250 volunteers who helped to set up, supervise, serve, and tear down the Fest. Everyone was so willing to help out, especially during torrential downpours and flooded streets, and do so with a smile. A special thank you to our volunteer co-chairs, Carrie Tracy & Megan Tirpak, and the planning committee of Luis Alejo, Caroline Cronin, Loraine Leung, Austin Fry, Leah Poehling and the assistance of our wonderful staff for their leadership and time spent to bring this Fest to life again.
Finally, thank you to the very generous sponsors and guests who helped to make Fall Fest a financial success (see listing in GIVE section below!). We are still awaiting some invoices from our vendors but will share the financial recap in the month ahead. All proceeds will support the ministries and educational programs at the church and school. Thank you!
