Thank You I wish to thank each and everyone that assisted me in any way with my booths at this year’s Parish Festival. Without the help of so many, I never would have made it through those days. I thank you all most sincerely. A very special Thank You to David Boni for bringing everything from the Craft Booth to my home Saturday night with his truck, and to Bob & Lori Liekar for giving up their Sunday evening to help me pack up the leftovers from the Resale Booth. Thank you to all that donated handmade items for the Craft Booth. ~ Yours most sincerely, Judy Ann Kandel
