1. Nov 2003 A future Jimmy Buffet fan? Heidi Stewart got the parade started at this year’s Fall Festival. I don’t know whose legs these are, but thanks for your help! Paul Entwistle and Mary Barber worked the ghost line…obviously the kids loved it! Busy taking in all the action! A trio of cute goblins!

2. Thanks to Anne & Mike Maschmeyer for providing the hayrides! Kids & parents enjoyed the rides equally! Even dogs enjoyed the party! The tattoos were a hit! Dollar Tree Stores donated the supplies for the art table, keeping many children busy with the modeling clay! This great smile says it all!

3. Everyone enjoyed a brat or hotdog…maybe 2!!! Thanks to all the cooks: Jane Petrofsky, Carol Roberts, Robin Schutte and Tom Baker! DEEEEE-licious! One goblin that’s all tuckered out! It certainly was a wonderful day in the neighborhood! Smiles could be found on kids & adults alike!

4. News & Business Thanks to everyone who helped with the 2003 Ames Place Fall Festival! You made it a success! I know there were many who helped set-up for the event, serve the food, and cleaned-up. I apologize for not catching all of your names, so that I could thank you publicly; but, I appreciate your willingness to do what was needed to make it great for the kids including all of us older kids! Kat Robinson THE ANNUAL AMES PLACE MEETING WILL BE HELD ON SUNDAY, NOV. 9th (2:00 PM), AT THE TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (ON CORNER OF WASHINGTON AND KINGSLAND).
