Cardington Jamboree generates funds for charity, fun for all

By Eve­lyn Long -

Judy Gra­ham and Kim Burns, co chair­men of the Vision Com­mit­tee which orga­nized the Com­mu­nity Jam­boree held Sep­tem­ber 30, expressed their joy at the suc­cess of the event.

The games, silent auc­tion and live auc­tion gen­er­ated a total of $2500 which will be given to the Clothes Closet and the No Lim­its Out­reach. Larry Wig­ton served as the auctioneer.

The event, spon­sored by St. Paul Lutheran Church, Card­ing­ton, was held in the Com­mu­nity Park in Cardington.

Games orga­nized by the com­mit­tee were the bean bag toss, mac­a­roni smash, Lol­ly­pop tree, pump­kin paint­ing, face paint­ing, cup­cake walk, clothes pin drop, foot­ball toss, corn hole, pin the eyes on the pump­kin, bob­bing for apples, donut munch­ing, pump­kin chunkin’, duck pond, bub­ble blow­ing and whipped cream game.

The 30 theme bas­kets made for the silent and live auc­tion were made by Gra­ham and oth­ers in the church.

Mem­bers of the church helped with all of the games and the auction.

Food was served from the Com­mu­nity Build­ing and was donated by church mem­bers. The food was served by the fam­ily of Kim Burns.

Enter­tain­ing was the Dix­ieland Band from the Kroc Cen­ter, Ash­land. Three mem­bers of the band have Card­ing­ton roots, Carol Ebert, her son, Neil Ebert and her grand­son, Chad Ebert, all play in the band which plays every Wednes­day at the Kroc Center.

Also appear­ing at the jam­boree was Ted Williams, the “Golden Voice,” who greeted vis­i­tors dur­ing the three hour event and then spoke briefly from the band­stand stage.

Gra­ham and Burns thank all who made this a success.
