The Pie Auction!
We planned, we worked and now it’s over. Our first end-of-the-year party for Castle Keepers. There were elements of it that were a little stressful and there are things I would change but in the end we had so much fun. The highlight of the evening to me was our pie auction. The girls were asked to make 2 pies. One to be judged by our secret judges and then served for dessert to our guests and the other one to be auctioned off with all proceeds going to Castle Keepers.
We did not know if all the pies would sell. Would we have enough bidders? Would they even be willing to pay $20 for a pie? Not only did we have enough bidders, they were willing to pay a very nice price for the pies. Watch the video and see just how much our club made. It was so exciting for us.
The video is a slideshow of pictures mixed with video clips of the auction. It starts off with the girls making their pies the day before the party and then finishes up with the auction.
Be sure to enlarge the video to see it full screen.

You did an outstanding job! I’m sure your experience this year will help you know what to do and not do in the future. Hope and pray you are getting some well-deserved rest.

Thanks. Not much rest yet. I have mountains of laundry that I’m trying to get through and we still have that anniversary dinner here this Saturday.

Bless your heart! Wish we lived closer, I’d help you conquer Mt. Washmore anyway. You are truly amazing, but even Superwoman needs her beauty rest. Hope you can take a break next week.
