Many thanks to everyone who worked, donated, and bought at the Barn Sale. Our final proceeds were $4638.37, which exceeded our goal significantly.

With a threat of rain, the morning of the sale was a cliff-hanger, but in the end the weather cooperated. The long line of eager buyers at 9 o’clock was rather astonishing, but the crowd managed to keep itself under control as folks literally ran down the parsonage driveway and pounced on their hearts’ desires. They loved our prices and our goods. The Book Sale, the Bake Sale, the Flea Market, the delicious lunch and the free coffee all added to a very successful day.

Special thanks to John Wright for picking up many loads of goods, setting up extra tents when the barn overflowed, and protecting our treasures from the rain. We are particularly grateful to Corinne Reif for her generosity in donating lovely pieces of furniture to the sale when she moved from Thornton Oaks to assisted living in Boothbaay.

It was a wonderful way for all of us at the church to work together.e went home tired but happy.
