Over the years I have attended, worked with and organized hundreds of festivals and events. With this new series, "INSIDE with the Festival Nomad", I want to give you an "inside" look at some of the festivals and events that I have been involved with or that I have visited. Along the way, I have had a lot of fun and sometimes frustration, but I have never been bored!
The
Biggies and More...
Judi and I have attended and volunteered
at a number of fundraising auction dinners. These are a lot of fun and, of course,
raise money for worthwhile causes. In the next few articles, I am going to tell
you about two of the larger and more interesting fundraising dinners we have visited
and about some of the funny things that we have seen at other fundraising auctions
we have attended!
The Warren
Michigan Banquet (Set-up - continued) ...
This
was a huge banquet and a lot needed to be done to set the banquet hall up. The
RGS staff had pre-organized everything back at their headquarters in Coraopolis,
PA (a suburb of Pittsburg), so everything was well packed and well marked. Even
though everyone (the RGS staff, not Judi and me) knew what needed to be done,
it all still seemed to be mass confusion. Eventually the hall was set up and everything
was in its place. Exhausted, we all headed to our hotel rooms to rest, clean up
and later to eat. The plan was to arrive early the next morning to make any
final adjustments that needed to be done. A little after noon, all the remaining
tasks were completed, we were told by Sam to go and get some rest and then come
back at about 4:00 pm. This, even though the doors wouldn't open until 6:30 pm.
Judi and I went back to our rooms to rest and then get ready for the evening’s
activities. We had no idea what was in store for us!
