This year’s KidsFest on Sunday, Feb. 13th, was another successful fundraiser for the Rochester UW Alumni Club with $459.00 donated to Ronald McDonald House! Thank-you’s go to volunteers Tom and Deb Crowley, Tiffany Schardt, Gerry Meyer, Mike Contezac, Kathy and Kelly Geisler, Judy & Jim Sloan, Erik Thorpe, Ann & Dave Dykstal, Bruce Ludwig, and Katie & Steve Brown (pictures below). Additional thanks to Mike Brown for bringing his UW flag which we displayed behind our booth. And a special thanks to Terry and Shelly Schardt for planning and organizing the event again this year.
With snocones $1 each, the 2005 sales were lower than the record-setting 623 snocones served at the 2003 KidsFest. The lower sales were attributed to a very rainy day, which lowered the attendance.
