The Fair Oaks Foundation weekend continued with rain on Friday night and dark sky on Saturday. My Saturday started with slicing and warming the cinnamon swirl bread with butter I brought on Friday for the artists and volunteers. My friend Ken brought Krispy Cream donuts and we served OJ and good coffee to all.
My dear friend Ron arrived with canvases to give to the artists from the wonderful Gainesville Michaels Store . They kindly sponsored us with an in kind donation for our artists. We had a wonderful number of volunteers for the day. None complained about the weather. They were all troopers for us and I am so grateful! To them.
I met many nice people on Friday night and Saturday throughout the day. The UF jazz band was wonderful and Tom Kay gave a marvelous speech to our guests. I had a few moments to talk with Tom about the new property adjacent to the Orange Lake Overlook. They are so excited to expand that preserve and so am I!
Aside from the weather, it was a splendid day. I am so grateful to all who braved the weather to join us and support the Fair Oaks Foundation, Inc. The foundation welcomes your support on their web site https://fairoaksfoundation.org/donate/
