Crop for MS

Yesterday, I was able to attend a new Crop that I had never been to before in Woodstock. These ladies are called the Merry Striders and are a group of sisters whose mother and Aunt are afflicted with this disease. One of their fundraising efforts is to put on 2 Fundraising crops per year. Their efforts over the last few years from this endeavour plus many more has raised over $200 000 for MS research and assistance. That's pretty impressive.

There were lots of door prizes and a couple fun toonie games. They had this incredible board that was filled with images all made from the Cricut. You could buy a spot for a toonie and the 2 lucky winners got either a Creative Memories gift basket plus $100 gas card or  tickets to Drayton Entertainment (your choice). I really need one of these boards.

I should mention that the theme for this Crop was COWBOY and boy, did they go all out for the decor...
There was a full saloon setup...

And many other touches around the room....

All the hosts were dressed in costume and there was even a little skit complete with "saloon girls".
The meals followed along with the theme also... Wraps, baked beans and cole slaw for lunch and chili, veggie tray, nacho chips etc for dinner...

They even served it in a tin pie plate. Lots of thought went into this event and they did really well, raising over $4000. I had a great day spent with friends and even managed to make a card or two.
