I was very proud of the great spirit, enthusiasm and energy showed when the Country Fair employee caravan left our offices at 5 am Saturday morning, June 27 for the Extreme Makeover East 21 Street site. They were followed out by a parade of support vehicles lead by the Country Fair Event Trailer. Next were the vendor vehicles including Krispy Kreme cruiser, the Meadow Brook Event Van, the JeriLu Fruit truck and the McCormick Coffee support truck. It was a great showing of support! Congratulations to all! Pictures to

This weather is phenomenal. Erie has a full slate of events going on today including the Festival of the Arts on the Bayfront, Shannon's extravaganza and the Bravehearts March. Guy reports that our team at the Bravehearts March was well received and did a super job. Channel 24 evidently highlighted our involvement on the news. We took the kids to the Festival of Arts and missed the news cast. Tomorrow we are planning to visit the Extreme Makeover site. I will give you a full report. A special thanks and congratulations to all participants.

I was on the Extreme Makeover site this morning. Roaster's Choice and Country Fair water were the preferred beverages! All the stars and all the volunteers were carrying either Roaster's Cup coffee or Country Fair water. Special thanks to McCormick's John M., his wife and Tony, who were there working on the equipment. The Krispy Creme donuts were well stocked and everything was well represented, both in the worker and VIP tent areas. Our banners look great behind them.
ReplyDeleteThe project appears to be several hours behind schedule, as one of the pre-cast foundation pieces fell off a truck on its way to Erie from Pittsburgh last night. There were innumerable volunteers working on other houses in the neighborhood, including working on yards, residing houses, and re-doing some of the interiors. It is a huge project!
I saw several of the Country Fair family including Joe S., his wife Sue, and their family with Gabriella and Alexis. Karen R. and Michelle, Brody and her mom were also there. The Maleno family and several of the production workers thanked me on behalf of Extreme Makeover and all the work that the Country Fair volunteers did yesterday manning our event wagon and support vehicles and for the great job that you did during the Bravehearts March. I understood that it had five takes and everybody was extremely hungry when it was over.
Tony from McCormick Coffee said that he introduced Guy to Mike Gallagher of Channel 24 and they were on the 11 pm news talking about the project. He said that it came out well with the Country Fair banner in the background. Again kudos to all who were involved. Sounds like you did a tremendous job and it was very appreciated!
I've got a fair number of pictures from today, and I hope that we can get them all loaded on the website tomorrrow.
Again, thanks to all.

Excellent account Paul! Can't wait to see the photos tomorrow. We will post them ASAP.
