PENN COVE WATER FESTIVAL

The Penn Cove Water Festival was held on Saturday, 17 May 2008 in downtown Coupeville from 10:00 to 6:00 pm. We sold our “All American Dogs” and chili. Thank you to Rich for managing the food and schedules for this event. We made approximately $750.00. Though this was not our best success, a great time was had by all and we got some good comments on our hot dog stand/workers:

Bill Jones said, “I got some nice comments about our hot dog operation from friends that stopped by to spend their hard earned cash.  They liked the dogs and chili although one said last year’s chili was better.  Most of them said that we were so much nicer than some of the other vendors who seemed to be less friendly and in a less joyful mood.  Service does count. Thanks to Rich for a great job getting it all together and keeping it going.”

It was a long day and a sunny day. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped to make this fundraiser a great success!

Thank you to all the volunteers who put up the flags for Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day: Bill Heideger, Rich, Dick, Kathy, Mary, Jack, Bill Jones, Dave Binder, Steve Holmes, Bill Bradkin and Wayne.

It’s great to see those flags waving in the breeze down Main Street. Thanks to Bill Heideger for getting all the volunteers and schedule together!
