Thanks for Fall Festival given

To the editor:
Pennville held its 5th Annual Fall Festival on Saturday, October 15.  The weather was a bit chilly and windy but that didn’t stop us.  We had plenty of help, only a few vendors had to cancel at the last minute, no major catastrophes and we had a nice crowd all day long.  We had all the familiar faces from Penn-ville and lots of out of towners as well.
Of course, planning an event like this takes lots of work, but all the best planning doesn’t work unless you have the patience, help & support of those around you. The Pennville Delts would especially like to thank Selena Bost for all of her hard work and lending us a hand in planning this annual event.  We would also like to thank Elvin Newhouse for his help, time and donations.  Your help with the pumpkin contest and pumpkin donations is greatly appreciated.   
Elvin, Selena, and the Pennville Delts couldn’t have pulled this event off without the help of countless people in the community and surrounding areas. There are too many to name, but I want to attempt to cover the whole group. Thanks to Lindy James for having the park mowed up & looking good. First impressions mean a lot. Thanks to Ron Bunch and the guys from Wampum Hardware for your help with the electricity and all the pre-festival things, Tom Brinkerhoff for the great DJ service, all of the vendors that set up demonstrations of your craft, to those of you that provided an interactive project for the kids or those that provided food to satisfy any number of appetites for the day.
Thank yous also go to the volunteers that watched our game booths through out the day. Your help & patience with the kids means a lot to everyone. Thanks to those that provided monetary donations, door prizes, & gift certificates: Applegate Livestock Equipment, Andersons Grain Terminal, Auto Zone, Blankenbaker’s Corner Store, Carquest, Corwin Trenching, Cindy’s Styling Salon, Critter Control, Dan’s Custom Woodworking, Davidson Excavating, Dunn Family Dental, FCC Indiana, Harriet Hutson, Hapner Furniture & Video, Heads Up - Lori Bonvillion, Helena Chemical, IDC Restaurant, Jay Community Center, Jay County REMC, Lewis Signs & Graphics, Locker’s Touch of Country, Napa Auto Parts, Nu Beginnings, Pak-A-Sak, Pennville Feed Service, Pennville Masonic Lodge, Pennville Pantry, Pennville Fire Department, and Williamson & Spencer Funeral Home. Thanks to the Pennville United Methodist Church for chairs and cooking pasta.  Thank you to all the help from our sister chapters of Delta Theta Tau.
Thank you to all that helped with set up and tear down.  We don’t know all of your names, but your help was truly appreciated.  Finally to the Indiana Pumpkin Growers for using us as a weigh-in site again this year.
Thanks again to everyone for braving the windy chilly weather.  We look forward to another great festival next fall.
