Fundraiser Rain Delay

Written by Matt on July 29th, 2009

So…our fundraiser with the Somerset Patriots got rained out.  It had been raining (well, pouring) on and off all day, but I was hopeful that it was going to hold off.  At lunch I ran to the bank to get change, and the dollar store to get balloons.  After work I picked up the balloons and headed to the game.  Got to the stadium around 5:30 to set up, and by then it had started to rain again.  The balloons had tangled up while in the car, and I couldn’t get them untangled…so instead of 2 things of balloons, just had one.  Then, I was having trouble separating the 50/50s into strips of 15.  Luckily Stephanie showed up shortly after and everything smoothed out.  Around 6 we wer set up, and it was still raining.  It was almost 8 o’clock by the time they called the game on account of rain.  We managed to sell some 50/50s, but unfortunately not too many people showed up to the game, so there wasn’t too many people to sell to.  Fortunately, however, we are being given the opportunity to fundraise at another game this season, date yet to be determined.  Check the Patriots 50/50 page to see more details on that.  Hopefully we’ll get a nice weather day where tons of people show up and are feeling generous.

Outside of that, not too much to report.  I didn’t run yesterday, and obviously didn’t run today.  My plan is to get a run in tomorrow, maybe one Friday, the 5K on Saturday, and then a long run on Sunday.  Should be some productive running.

So, thanks for reading, and if you’re feeling generous today, take a moment to click the “Donate Now” button on the right hand side of the screen.

Until next time… Run on Friends!
