ELMSDALE:<\/strong> It was an amazing turnout at an inaugural fundraiser in support of the local food bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shae Penney, Exit Realtor, and Darren Aiken with Mortgage Intelligence teamed up to put on a Pumpkin Patch fundraiser on Saturday Oct. 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was held in the parking lot of Riverview United Church in Elmsdale and had representatives from the Caring & Sharing Angel Tree Food Bank, as well as friends of Shae\u2019s and Darren\u2019s on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Laker News stopped by after all the crowd was there as we were at other assignments. We snapped the photos in this story while we were there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By all accounts, it was a successful event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pumpkin Patch fundraiser saw close to a dozen bags worth of food donated and almost $270 in cash donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penney and Aiken wished to thank everyone for coming out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur pumpkin event had an amazing turnout,\u201d said Penney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
