Crooked River Hook In ~

I was busy at the hook in making sure volunteers were at their stations at a prescribed time, so sadly no pictures to share.  At Friday night's set up I did remember to take pictures of the cigar boxes display.  It was absolutely wonderful, with 67 boxes having been decorated.

A few pictures showing boxes a little more close up.

The hooked red, white and blue hearts, American flag, "boobies", the punch needle horse and the blue heart with a key were boxes I decorated.

In the back row the grungy heart on a red box was mine.  The next row down the punch needle chicken and the USA to far right were also boxes I decorated.

Overall, I'd say the hook in was a great success even though attendance was less than we had hoped for.  We had 99 registered but were hoping for closer to 120.  Beginning next year we will be alternating years with another Cleveland area guild (to the far east, we are to the west).  Hopefully guild members will be more willing to volunteer knowing we are only doing it every other year.

Hopefully one of these days weeks I will actually have something hooking related to show!

Late this afternoon, DSO and I went to a prayer vigil for Charlie Kirk.  I am still in shock and disbelief that he was assassinated.  Please keep his wife Erika and children in your prayers and hold your loved ones tight.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
