Yesterday was our third annual Great American Bake Sale / Music For The Hungry extravaganza to raise funds for Share our Strength‘s efforts to fight childhood hunger.  And I am pleased to say that it was a smashing success!  We raised over $2500 and had a day filled with music, delicious food and community.

As you could have expected, I got pretty darned emotional during several portions of the day – like when our principal dedicated a song to me (about eating locally and feeding the hungry) and when a little boy set up a stand to sell some of his toys so that he could make a donation to Share our Strength.

Pictures speak louder than words – so I will let the images speak for themselves…

Many thanks to Trader Joe’s, Costco, Dierk Herbermann and Kristine Kelson for their generous donations.  And thanks to Donna’s Tamales for providing delicious tamales at a discount!  Everyone loved them!
