Showcase 2016 happened on this past Saturday. It was another
busy day in our community for businesses and residents both. Special thanks to
all who made it possible again this year. Without the participation of the
businesses and organizations represented, it would not have been held for this
the 24th year. I heard many comments from vendors that they had a great day and
were glad that Barnesville has a show right here in town.
All of the businesses who participated this year are to be commended
for their commitment to Barnesville. They have gone out of their way to have a
booth, invest their dollars in the event and reach out to customers and
visitors alike. This forward thinking indicates their willingness to do
business with you. It indicates their motivation to serve you as their
customers and listen to your inquiries and suggestions. It is extra work for
everyone at the business for them to be at Showcase and we do recognize that. Barnesville
will thrive in today’s economy because of the support of its residents. Let’s
continue to support these enterprises with your business – they are here for
YOU!
The entertainment, presentations and activities provided
were second to none. We appreciate the time those individuals gave to help make
Showcase an enjoyable event for all of those attending. Carol Albright and her
art students provided an additional bright spot in our show with the Art Show. By
sharing their talents and knowledge, they made a wonderful addition to this
event. The food vendors were a hit with tantalizing smells luring us to the old
gym for a delicious meal or a treat
I would like to thank the committee for the efforts put
forth in organizing the event. Dar Hines, Bruce Albright, Becky Eggiman, Pete
Larson, and Shane Raw have spent countless hours in meetings of preparation,
soliciting entertainment, food vendors and booths as well as the manual labor
in the set up & tear down of the entire gym! We also appreciate having the
school as a facility in which to hold showcase. The administration and staff are
so cooperative to work with. An event of this size and nature would not be successful
without their support! There are so many
others who volunteered in a variety of ways to make the show a success: Irene
Schenk, Sophia Swenson, Sally Braton, Kay Lane, Miss Barnesville Emma Vold, Ivy
Olson and Cathy Wheelright. A HUGE thank you to all! We couldn’t have done it
without you!
A special thank you is given to The Barnesville Lions, Barnesville
Thursday Nite Lions, VFW Post # 4628 and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary 4628 for
sponsoring the Barnesville Bucks door prizes again this year. We do appreciate
the generous support from these entities.
We look forward to Showcase 2017 and seeing you again!
