Bazaar

On Saturday, we went to help out at a fundraiser for my parents church. It was the 53rd and final Bazzar festival. It's only been at this church for about 10 years since another congregation merged with ours and brought the festival with them. It's the biggest fundraiser they have, but it takes a ton of work and the congregation is getting old and unable to manage all the physical labor involved.

I got there at 9am and was put to work chopping steak, chicken, and onions for the carne asada taco booth that I do with Bradley and Ruel. Ruel made a cool table grill with a wok welded into it to help the meat cook faster. We kept busy all day and were glad it wasn't nearly as hot as it was last year. Cyndi came a little later after attending a job fair, and once again helped my mom and Amy with the baked goods booth. Both booths ended up doubling what we made last year, and it looks like the church will make about $10,000 above last year's total. It was hard work and long hours. Bradley ended up being there from 5am to 7:30pm when we finished cleanup.

In the second set of pictures above, you can see Amy chatting, my grandpa doing portraits, and me and Bradley grilling. Good times.
