Relief Society Food Preparation and Preparedness Fair

The Stake Relief Society put on a Food Preservation/Preparedness Fair. There were 4 areas of focus and those who attended found something for each of them. We had quite a few who attended but it was tricky to sneak around taking pictures without annoying everyone. You in the ward are use to me doing it. So if you attended and I don't post your picture it's because you probably sat where I could get you. Maybe that's what you wanted, LOL. Jenna (thanks for playing the prelude and opening song)
Barry, Audra, Dan, Laurie, Erin, Sam, Matt learning the basics of canning

Jake and JoAnnah know the finer points of jam making, just ask

Julie & Katie (Fowlers in the back)

If you forgot to come and wanted to there are handouts available, just check with Sister Beazer.

While we were busy learning about dehydrating and canning, PJ and Dan were busy at the hospital with their new arrival, Marley. Congratulations

We love to help others

The ward decided to do a service project. A chance to help someone else, show what "Charity" really means. We tied 3 quilts and colored at least 10 file folder games. Of course there was also plenty of food to go around, pizza, chips, cookies.

Fowlers enjoy the coloringElmers wait patiently for their turn at the markers
Orr's aren't afraid to tackle a quilt

(The bishop needs to make them the new Quilting specialists)

Kristen gets the needles loaded Teaching Greg the finer points of quilting

Even the bishopric gets involved

Brother Doyle got an "A" in cutting when he was in Kindergarten.

So many colors to choose from, the McMullins have a hard time deciding.

Coloring or cutting, Carsons love to serve and have fun doing it.

Even project needs a spectator and these two were perfect

Stephanie can't decide what's next
Almost done

The race is on to see who can finish theirs first.

And the winner is!!!! (Sister Broulim is one fast quilter)
Second Place

The final quilt being checked for bad knots.

The Bishop and Shawnee check the instruction as Sister Broulim stacks the frames for storage

CY, checking out the finish quilt, giving them the "baby" seal of approval.

Thanks to those who came and helped, with a special thanks to Sister Fowler for sewing together one of the quilts. Somewhere there is someone who will need these items and we will receive double blessings in heaven for being the ones who made it possible.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

If you don't see your picture it's because I am not a great photographer, so some pictures are blurry or maybe you have a piece of spinach in you tooth, or you forgot to come.

Thanks again activities committee for another good time.
