And the results are in. . .

The Incredible Pumpkin Patch has faded once again until next year, but the great news is that the display raised over $500. again this year for Parkinson's research!

We doubled our efforts, advertising and length of the event, but just reached half of our hoped-for goal.  -Another reflection of the economy!  I'm so glad we did double our efforts so that the results at least matched the previous year!  We unknowingly countered what would have surely been a big drop.  So many people showed up to see the display, take photos and enjoy the spectacle.  And it's nice they felt compelled to give.  They were getting something for their donation!

A note for anyone who might consider collecting donations for the cause:  It is SOOOO easy to put out a collection jar.

Pumpkins For Parkinson's!

We've been hard at work on a seperate Team Fox project for the fall season.
For the past 5 years, we've decorated with jack-o-lanterns, and it has grown to be such a spectacle, that guests come from all over to take photographs. Last year, we made a sign that suggested, 'Take Photos, and Give Hope', with a collection jar nearby -and we raised $500!
This year our goal is $1000.
We've got over 500 jack-o-lanterns to rig and light, along with corn stalks, hay bales, fog, lights, scarecrows, fall leaves, etc! It's a lot to coordinate, but at least we've turned it into an easy opportunity for visitors to turn their delight into help finding a cure for PD.
