Many people to thank for success of Pleasant Street Fall Festival

To the editor,

On October 27th, Pleasant Street School held its annual Fall Festival with the hearty goal of raising funds to support the children of PSS.

We are writing to thank the many individuals and businesses within the community that helped make our event this year a huge success. A larger than life thank you to all the area businesses that donated items for our raffle table and concession stand. The impact of having over 50 great raffle prizes and a food-filled concession stand at no cost to us is immeasurable. A big thanks to all of our PSS bakers, the bake table was a huge success due to the never-ending sea of homemade items, yummy! We also want to extend our appreciation to the Laconia Fire Department for bringing not one but two of their engines to the festival. Seeing the huge ladder extended high into the sky was a sight that brought both awe and excitement to kids big and small. Another great big thank you goes out to Officer Cardinal from the Laconia Police Department, the smiles on the faces of the children sitting in the police car were priceless and really took this event to the community level we were hoping for.

Last but not least without the people that donated their time to help run this event, it would have never had the success it did. So to the families that donated prizes and funds to keep our costs down, to the school staff, parents, grandparents and PSS alumni that kept all aspects of the festival running smoothly, and to everyone that brought their families to experience what a special day it was, thank you, thank you, thank you! See y'all next year!
