WEATHER COOPERATES WITH WELLSFEST

On Saturday, September 26th, Wells Church staged their 26th annual WellsFest at Jamie Fowler Boyll Park on Lakeland Drive. After a week of rain, and even some that morning, the sun emerged for hours of local music, kids activities, and craft booths. Despite the early precipitation, a signal of the event’s good fortune came in an editorial on Wells and Shoestring in that morning’s Clarion-Ledger. Wells was kind enough to designate Operation Shoestring as this year’s beneficiary of WellsFest. Over 40 years ago, the original Operation Shoestring site was a back room of Wells Church. Great thanks to Keith Tonkel and Wells not only for their support from the proceeds of this event, but also decades of community partnership!
