On Sunday, April 28th, about 150 people came out for a special afternoon of FUN and FELLOWSHIP at Phoebe Needles! A lot happened in 3.5 hours! Franklin County’s own American Idol contestant Kam’ron Smith serenaded our audience with a great repertoire of songs! The day was absolutely gorgeous, which gave attendees the opportunity to enjoy our wraparound porch and beautiful mountain views! Our “Kitchen Crew” – Board Member Jeremiah Cook and Family – served up a delicious and tasty pulled pork BBQ meal for everyone! Our bake sale, tended to by Ed & Rebecca Saunders, SOLD OUT! Our Kids Zone overflowed with youngsters who enjoyed arts & crafts, face painting, games and, of course, the Bouncy House! (Thank you to Ferrum Forward for its use!) Our Silent Auction looked fabulous, thanks to coordinators and Board Members Mary Jane Akerman and Kathy Hippeli. It raised approximately $3,200. We closed out one raffle for a Keith Urban Nightstar Electric Acoustic Guitar package. With this raffle we were able to raise $1,500! Congratulations to Danny Webb who bought the winning ticket! And, we started a new raffle for a beautiful quilt to be held at our Annual Glory Days Fall Festival on Sunday, September 28, 2025 (SAVE THE DATE!) Altogether, through our COMMUNITY’S GENEROSITY, we raised approximately $7,700 for our 2025 Summer Camp Programs! We extend a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who DONATED, SPONSORED, BAKED, VOLUNTEERED, SANG and ATTENDED!! You are all AMAZING!!
