Nottingham Day is sneaking up on us...those of us on the committee met one last time tonight. We went through the meeting in less than an hour. Goes to prove everything is (hopefully) all under control. Let us only pray for sunny weather on Saturday (or Sunday).

My cupcake contest is the highlight of MY day there. This year I'm helping my young niece Bri put her entry together..."Pet Parade in Heaven" is her creation...with cotton candy for clouds and a few surprises for the judges.
***
That is all I can say, as my sister Cheryl is also entering...and mother and daughter are keeping secrets about their respective entries. This year I am not a judge, so I will have more control over the comings and goings and taking pictures...and the new People's Choice Awards! Come vote for your favorites! They'll win a trophy!
***
Prizes I put together are various cupcake silicone bake ware...butterflies, hearts, and ice cream cone molds. Grand prize winner gets a $25 gift certificate to a bakery in Dover. All the kiddies receive a prize, regardless.
***
After the cupcake contest is over, as I did last year, I load up the donated cupcakes into a large container and walk up and down and through the hordes of people shouting,
"Cupcakes for sale - $1.00! Cupcakes for sale! Cupcakes!" I walk around repeating this until they are all sold...or eaten, anyway.

If you are nearby, I hope will drop in and visit! If not, I guess you kinda get the picture.
***PS...This may be my last year of volunteerism on this successful project...other duties are begging to be done and my attention is being draw to them. Got to be fair and spread my wealth of volunteerism around. Next, I hope to help the down-trodden.***
