Easter Outreach Carnival
On Saturday, 8-11-09, A Fresh Hope helped Cedarcrest Church host an Easter Celebration. The Celebration was held at Allatoona High School. Invitations were mailed to Paulding and Cobb surrounding area codes as well as the recipients at the Back to School Drive from August 2008.
The weather was unseasonably cold and very cloudy... BUT... people still came. There were over 3000 people at the Carnival. The carnival provided included a velcro wall, lots of jumpies, barbeque, face painting, tattoos.. great fellowship and an egg hunt with over 30000 eggs.
A Fresh Hope would like to thank the following folks for helping with this event:
Cheryle and Terry Austin, Julie, Thom, Cassidy and Hannah Ray, Jennifer Higgins, Kellee, Lawrence and McKenzie Strickland.
Waverly and the bunny...
Let the games begin:
Warm smiles... happy kids....
