The
Humane Society purse sale and retail booth at the balloon fest were
both quite successful. The purse sale netted HSLC over $1,300 and
the retail booth netted over $400. Sincere thanks to event
coordinators Lynn White, Dawn Gorman, Rachel Hall and Stacie Wachtel
and all the volunteers who spent many hours of hard work to make
this HSLC's most profitable balloon fest.
