| Thanks to all of the
supporters of Gorman Heritage Farm who came out for the event - we had
some great food, a great auction, and in general, a great time!
Here, Education Manager Julie Semm (l) parties it up
with farm pals Susan Van Amerongen, Mary Jo Kell, Kathy Aerni and Joyce
Weil. |

Farm Manger Dave
Lemen (r) enjoys life off the farm for a change! |
| A lot of
preparation went into making the evening a success. Here, volunteers Cliff Dzeich
and Linda Remmick fix lights onto the wagon for some moonlight hayrides. |

 |
sing magic worthy of
Cinderella's fairy godmother herself, Ava Koren and her decorating helpers
turned ordinary pumpkins into beautiful centerpieces! |
|
Many volunteers
(thanks especially to Susan Van Amerongen and Tim Hammonds) worked all day
to set up the art auction. The pieces were beautifully
displayed, and quite a few of them were bought by our guests. |
 |
 |
Without the hospitality of
UAW Local 647, we would have been quite literally out in the cold!
Chapter President Gary Jordan even donated his time to help us with
set-up, clean-up and anything else we asked. |
| Raffel's
Catering brought some excellent, farm-fresh food, keeping in the theme of
our "grazing" buffet. |
 |
 |
Now, on to the party!
Board of Directors President Barb Rohs (2nd from right) took a moment to
pose with her dad Joe and her sisters. |
| Sorry to
disappoint, but we did not have Karaoke! Executive Director Peggy
Paff took a moment to thank sponsors, staff and volunteers for supporting
the Farm, and to encourage everyone to make a bid at the Auction! |
