The reptile fest was a huge success , we opened the event to the community and had a tremendous response .We supplied every one with a hot dog , sloppy joe , cookies , lemonade , and passed out flyers with our Church information and spaghetti dinner information . Our numbers were around 200 people , adults and children. Dave DiNaso did a fantastic job of engaging everyone with his reptiles, There were a few screeches! The Women of the Church depend on our congregation to help with these events to put the Trinity Word out!
