I came as a volunteer to HOToberfest from Vicksburg, Ms. I had a blast & that’s a hard thing for someone to say about doing manual labor without a paycheck. It was AWESOME and I met some great people that I wish I had gotten their addresses or phone numbers. I worked in Allyn’s stand w/ Travis Bridges. We sold wings for a local restaurant and OMG they were wonderful. Some friends & I stayed @ Denise & Try’s fine home and made the PLING (pretzel necklaces) and sold those. Someone came up w/ a really cool sticker to put on them. I could go on & on. I’ll be back next year and hope to spend some extra time w/ the volunteers that RULED.
