Last Saturday was our adoption carnival and it was a total success! The weather was great! it was hot, but the breeze felt good. There was approximately 1,000 people that showed up. I am so grateful we had my parents and my sister there to help the whole day along with Dave's mom and brother and sister that came to help the morning of set up and make sure everything looked perfect. I should have taken more pictures, but I was really busy.
We had amazing homemade fudge and delicious gourmet cupcakes and popcorn and cotton candy and water and otter pops and cakeballs for sale (food wise).
We had 23 silent auction items and most of them sold. We had the CUTEST baby socks and tea sets and blankets for sale, along with some homemade soap and some jewelry and a few other things.
It was a super fun day. I cant wait for next years carnival. IF we do adopt before, it can help with paying off the loan.
My dad knew the guy in charge and was talking to him and said next year they will definitely work on advertising more. Over all we made $750ish when all was said and done we for sure blew everyone out of the park with the money we made. We are so thrilled. Now we can pay for the home study AND the family profile books which was the 2 last things we needed to pay for before our proof of funds. Hopefully our next fundraiser on the 4th of July where we will be selling water bottles and otter pops along the parade route will help with the first payment of the loan we will have to take out and so on and so forth with a few more fundraisers we want to do, so we will keep you updated when they get closer.
And I know you all wanted some pictures...
Here is some prepping for the day
