In My Virtual World

How many signs have you seen lately for Fall Festivals?  In my neck of the woods, they are around every corner.  Especially around Halloween.  There’s apple festivals, tomato festivals, water festivals, you name it, there’s probably a festival for it.

I was blessed to be asked to coordinate our church’s Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat event last Sunday.  As a former event coordinator for several non-profit organizations and a virtual event planner, it was a perfect fit for me.  I love planning and coordinating events and working with the incredible volunteers.  I had a fabulous team that helped with the event.  Although many of the aspects of this event was “hands-on”, a large majority of the work was done virtually.  We communicated through email and phone.  We ordered supplies and this cute banner online and we submitted our press release through email.

I’m pleased that we had around 120 families attend our event and served more than 240 hot dogs, caramel apples, nachos and cheese, and popcorn.  We had blow-up games, hayrides, pie throwing, bluegrass music, cake walks, Kids on Parade Costume Parade and great door prizes.

I love my virtual job, but sometimes it’s nice to be hands-on and work closely with others to make things happen.
