Vincent helps Debra with the early morning set-up chores. Setting up tables for the food court. A greenhouse wall was transformed into a mural by the coloring contest. Who is this stranger with Debra? It's Logan in disguise! Kevin Kruszenski, Vicky Childres and Craig McConnell of "Soulshine" donated their time and their great music for the event! 11105-089 11105-228 The pathway to the farm house saw a lot of traffic throughout the day. 11105-158 11105-167 The judging for the pie baking contest was intense, meticulous and thorough. And it looks like the judges thoroughly demolished eight pies! Winner of the best apple pie and third overall—Carol Gwirtz. Painting pumpkins. 11105-186 11105-252 The Kruszenski family handled the corn concession. 11105-212 Sweet corn! 11105-117 11105-183 Missy worked the face painting booth which was very popular all day long. 11105-066 11105-126 11105-058 11105-121 Uh, Oh! One young lady decided to get a closer look at the pigs. Not such a great idea, actually. 11105-141 The boots were eventually rescued from the mud. Could this be the best painted face of the day?
