Dec 1st, 2007 was Winterfest in the Village of Oakfield. There were tons of activities that took place all day. There was free chili, a meet and greet with Santa and a scavenger's hunt to name just a few. One of the businesses that participated was the Caryville Inn located on Main Street in Oakfield. Not only do they have the best food and atmosphere in Oakfield but they are were one of my generous sponsors for the Mrs. New York United States pageant.
I was not able to participate in the day's activities since my oldest son had a basketball game which lasted most of the day. Plus it was pretty cold as well and I am not a huge fan of doing anything that requires me to be cold. lol The Caryville did invite me to come down and help out with the drawings for the prizes from the scavenger's hunt. Players had to find all of the businesses listed on a card and visit each of them for a punch on their card. When you had visited all the businesses you returned your card to the Caryville Inn to be entered into the drawing for the grand prize which was a trip for two to Toronto.
While I was waiting to draw the grand prize name and announce the winners of all the drawings I was able to visit with Miss. Kendal a bit. She brought her scrap book with all of her beauty pageant photo's in it to share with me. She is a beautiful and very smart young lady!
The mayor of Oakfield, Ray Cianfrini enjoyed all the activities of Winterfest. Ray was also one of my very generous sponsor as he and his son own the Cianfrini Law Firm located on Main Street in Oakfield.
I also had a chance to chat a bit with Betty one of the owners of the Caryville before the drawing. She was kind enough to help me pronounce the winners names so I said them correctly.
At 6PM I reached into the fish bowl and pulled out the winning ticket.
The winners name was Laura and she was very excited to have won the trip for two to Toronto! Her husband was equally as excited and they thanked me repeatedly for pulling their name. I was happy that the person who won was present to claim their prize.
Betty was also very kind and asked Steve and I to stay for dinner on her! Thank you!
