StrangeCreek & SHS
« on: June 03, 2005, 01:21:30 pm »
We just wanted to thank everyone for donating food and other items to SHS last weekend at StrangeCreek! We completely blew away our expectations for the weekend and collected an estimated 2,500 items to benefit the Franklin County Community Meals Program.
   
Many thanks to Rock the Earth (highest donor too!), DrumJam Music, Digital Soundboard, Steve Milliard and others I\'m forgetting for providing prizes.  

We have a weight from the food banks of just under 1000lbs and left anoth 200-250lbs Tuesday when we left... So about 1200lbs and roughly 2200-2500 items... This is top 5 and top non-Eden event... It was also better than one item for each person at the festival!

Outstanding effort!  

The Worms had so much to do with this success. They had the food drive on ALL of their promotions from the very first day (posters, fliers, newsletters, website, etc...) Their commitment to making this happen was inspirational.    

What a great start to the festival season.  

Thank you to all of those who volunteered and helped out.  

Special thanks to everyone who donated!  

Peace, SHS
