Peach Festival

The Peach Festival was a great success. We made triple the amount of pies we made last year and sold out by 12:15. There was also an increase in our sales in the kitchen.

A big ThankYou is extended to everyone who helped to cut and peel peaches, bake peach pies, set up and clean up before and after the event, work at the event, donate ingredients, and bought items. We had great workers on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We want to recognize the Hower children and Julianna Capasso for all of their help. Thank you.

Our publicity was great. Thank you to Casey Anno for helping us to set up the web for preorders. We received over 70 preorders. Our signs were posted in prominent spots, there were ads in the newspapers and on TV, and several members did email blitzes.

The church gave Level Fire Hall a donation of $100 for the use of their kitchen and ovens to bake the pies. Without their ovens, it would have been very difficult to bake 161 pies.

We are already planning for an even better Peach Festival next year. We hope to double the number of pies we make and adding some other types of pies for sale. This year our bake table had very little variety besides peach pies.
