Jakes Produce closed this past Saturday to participate in the 1st Annual Cherokee County Animal Shelter Fall Festival. It was not only fun but educational for everyone involved as it was a first for the entire group.Although the festival hours was from 12 Noon to 4 PM, we decided to get there early for setup...and it was a good thing.
We were fortunate to have great assistance from the Animal Shelter volunteers and local high school seniors assisting in setting up the tent and unloading the pumpkins, apples and canned goods. Volunteer Pud Mudd was our engineer in setting up the borrowed 10' x 20' tent. 
One of the local high school volunteers, Jansen from the Towne Lake area was our favorite volunteer with her willingness to pitch in and we can't forget her fabulous cookies! Notice the Snake Gourd wrapped around her neck....cool!

Kitty, Patsy and myself were kept busy throughout the day, arranging and selling pumpkins and canned goods. We met lots of new people at the festival and was glad Cherkee Animal Shelter staff and volunteers were able to accomplish their goal for finding homes for some of the many dogs and cats they take in at the shelter.
Thank for coming Lisa!! We appreciated you joining us. I have never seen a prettier veggie stand.
