SALINEOWEEN 2009 PERFORMERS

Thanks so much...
...to all the great people who volunteered
their time and efforts to make Salineoween
a fun day at the Saline County Fairgrounds.

 Special thanks to my co-producers for
Salineween, Patrick Beam & Yvonne Dougherty.
Thanks to Aaron Reddin for organizing help from some
awesome folks from the Union Rescue Mission. It was
wonderful getting to know them and the goals they 
seek in making their lives work. The Saline County
Sheriff's Reserves
 were especially helpful as well.

Thanks also to Debbie, Laney, Crystal, Blake, Heather,
Jason, Carla, Cowboy, Tim, Drew, Roger, Thelma, Nicole,
Jeremy, Kim, Curtis, Rachel, Cara, Katie, Bobby, Bayley,
Joe, Ellen, the Boy Scouts & others. Together, we worked
our collective hineys off to be able to help the young
adults right around us who need the equipping to
become productive members of society.

There's also a group of people who volunteered their
performances in various ways. Thanks to all the talent
that came to entertain
 for the cause, and those who 
lent their face for a pie to meet with it!

 If you were unable to come to Salineoween, but you'd like to
find out more about the cause and help please see
www.WithinREACHinc.org.


BOOTHS AVAILABLE NOW!
Music all day & all night + comedians, illusionists, and "Angry" Patrick Beam hosting the evening show!

Don't miss the State Nut Queen Pageant in the afternoon. It's the pageant for those blessed with "inner beauty!"

Pie? What pie? I threw it at Craig O'Neill! Take a turn at the Pie-Throwing Booth and you could tag Craig, or a local politician or even a high school teacher!

Actually, State Rep. Ann Clemmer was there earlier, and State Rep. Dawn Creekmore was a judge. Yvonne Ms. Pecan Tart was probably blinded by the possibility of becoming the first ever Unofficial State Nut Queen!
