🍂 What a day for our little town of Hale! ❤️
They say it takes a village, and yesterday was the perfect example of just how true that is!
Something people don’t always realize is that even a ONE-DAY festival takes WEEKS of preparation, planning, organizing, and coordinating! And when you’re trying to schedule meetings and get things accomplished around busy moms, business owners, full-time jobs, high school students, and everyone’s already hectic lives, it isn’t always the easiest task! 😂
But when it all finally comes together, and everyone shows up when and where they’re needed, willing to lend a hand and do their part, it really is something pretty special to witness. ❤️
As both a small business owner and a member of the Hale Community Betterment Association, I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone who helped make yesterday’s Harvest Festival a success! From the committee members who have spent countless hours planning, to the volunteers, sponsors, vendors, entertainers, those who donated the stage and park decor, our law enforcement and everyone who stepped up to help in one way or another — THANK YOU!
And to everyone who came out to the park yesterday, whether you stopped by for a bite to eat, supported a vendor, brought your kiddos to play, or stayed to enjoy the entertainment, we were SO glad to see and serve you! 🥰
And on a little more personal note, I want to wish a VERY Happy Birthday to my Grandma and Aunt Tracy! 🥳 Both knew going into this weekend that I was going to be running around like crazy and probably wouldn’t have much time to celebrate with them like I would’ve wanted to. But they both still made their way to the park to spend part of their special day with us, and that truly was the icing on the cake for me! 🥹❤️ Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most, and getting to see them both there in the middle of all the craziness made my day that much sweeter! Love you both! 🎂💕
There’s something really rewarding about watching a little town come together to create something that brings so much joy to others. These are the kinds of things that make small-town living so special.
I’m so proud to be a part of a group of people who genuinely want to see our community grow, thrive, and have FUN! My hope is that we can continue creating events and opportunities that give people a reason to come visit Hale, support our local businesses, and see just how much our little town has to offer.
Here’s to making Hale a place people want to visit, a community people are proud to call home, and a town where there’s always something fun to look forward to! ❤️
I can’t wait to see what we plan next!
Thank you all for an amazing 2nd Annual Hale Harvest Festival! 🍁
