Thanks for Another Successful Year

To "pull off" an event like this one, we relay on help from the community.  I hope I don't forget someone, but here goes:

Thanks to: 

Veiolia Waste Management - donation of dumpsters
Burgoyne's Toilet Rental - for the port a potties
Scotty's Enterprises - use of his shop and grounds
Dan Zynda - Ringle maintenance 
Town of Ringle - multiple things
Ringle Fire Department -
Marathon County - use of Mt. Bay Trial parking lot
Alan - mowing/brush hog grounds
Zoromski Homestead Farm Corn Maze -
Country Fresh Meats - donation of hamburger for tacos
Sam's Club - donation of water
Popplewood families - set up, food booth, raffle, clean up

Our 4-H club had some great raffle items too.  I don't have a list of who all donated, but we had over 25 or 30 things; to include Brewer, Bucks tickets; Packer football, homemade quilt, gift cards, craft items, home decor, just a nice variety. 

Our 4-H club uses the funds we raise for educational purposes, scholarships, donations to "adopt a family" Christmas gifts and many other community service areas.

Thank you to ALL who helped with this event!

Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.

16th Annual Ringle Harvest Day - Wet and Rainy

This year will go down as the rainiest, is that a word?  All day rain...on and off.  However, guess what?  We still had vendors show up and brave the weather - bless you.  We still had customers, I know hundreds...my husband just said, over a thousand - die hard shoppers - bless you too.

I don't like to brag...but, for me, I had the best sales over the past several years.  I guess, due to lack of competition, the fact that people wanted to buy, I don't know for sure.  I had NO expectations.  I do know that I was blessed.   God is good - all the time.

I think customers finally "get" my art; as I sold several paintings, paper mache' and other finds.



Thanks again!  By the way, if you want to check out my other blog and keep up with what I am doing, where I am selling my art or read my insightful analogies...go here:   http://dickybirdsnest.blogspot.com/

Ringle Harvest Day - October 13, 2012

I've noticed that I have had a lot of views on here lately.  So, I just wanted to refresh everyone with the date of the event this year.  It is ALWAYS the 2nd Saturday of October.  This year:  October 13, 2012. 

I do my shows on the 2nd Saturday of each month - May thru October.  May thru September at Country Fresh Meats in Weston (right off Hwy 29 & J Exit) - you can see all the vendors along the highway in their parking lot.  So, if you are near the Weston area on the 2nd Saturday - stop on in at the farm & flea market. 

The Ringle Harvest Day is growing again this year; On Q Collission Center will have vendors in their parking lot for the first time.  We hope to have some kind of shuttle between the flea market and the corn maze in Ringle.  Pray for good weather.

Blessings from Wisconsin.
