Great Pumpkin Give-A-Wey started soggy, and ended up sunny!

Our own carved Pumpkin

Today we had a table at the Weymouth Great Pumpkin Give-A-Wey festival!  It was a huge event with over 2000 visitors, and a ton of vendors/organizations. We held a raffle for a fine art print, all proceeds from the raffle going to the WAA. The table was decorated with our own carved pumpkin, lots of prints, greeting cards, and paintings for sale!

A special thank you goes out to our members Lois and Alice for helping out!

I hope to see everyone at the next meeting, October 15th 2pm-4pm at the Tufts Library.

WAA President's dog, Kona.

We had a great time today at the Weymouth Farmers Market!  Today was the market’s Landing Day for businesses and organizations based out of Weymouth Landing.  We had a lot of fun drinking coffee and manning the tent. A special thanks to Lillian Koe, Edwina Caci, Louis Weiner, and now returning member Alice Appleton for helping to talk to visitors and sell artwork!  We also enjoyed visits to the tent from many notable people, like WAA treasurer Maggie Lee Gosselin, Mayor Susan Kay, and WAA past president Don Aikens. President Liz Boston’s dog, Kona was even there helping out!

 

We hope to have an even bigger success at the Great Pumpkin Give-A-Wey on October 1st. The Great Pumpkin Give-A-Wey is slated to have 2000+ visitors!
