Thank you to all the volunteers, my family, HdG Maritime Museum staff and Board Members, the Boat Shop Guys for setting up the staging area for plants and pumpkins and basically taking over the boat shop, the donations and or discounts from Lidl, Weiss, Kent Meadows Farm, Lohr's, Berg's, Cavanos and Big House Signs. You helped make the AutumnFest a huge success!!!

Also, thank you to the 2 Pride Festival volunteers at the alley + 1 of their husband's that helped carry 65 pumpkins, containers of Apple Cider and more from the alley to the Boat Shop due to the road blockage. I greatly appreciated your kindness!

Thank you!
