Before and during the performance, we collected $129 in hot dog sales, $155 in pastry table sales, $46 in coffee and tea sales, $95 in popcorn and soda sales, and $204 in merchandise sales.  We also received donations of $42 for the senior sweater fund and $31 for the museum.  (That totals $702 and all we had to do was show up!) 

The performance began on time and ran a little longer than some previous years.  The JROTC began the show with a color guard and a sweet rendition of our national anthem, a drum corps performance, and girls’ and boys’ squads performances of coordinated movements and yells.  The first half featured a comedian and a classical pianist.  Following intermission, the New Drifters performed their songs.  By all accounts, the performance was very well received.  During the first half, I did a rough head count and arrived at 130, and I expect even more next year.  Notes: Ed
