I have to say, I was blown away by the Hogwart's and Hartwick event tonight. So much energy and enthusiasm went into every detail. The food was good, and while the meal started a little bit late, we were entertained throughout with door prizes, the costume contest and the Hartwick professors in their Harry Potter costumes. After the feast, were were all given hand painted gift bags filled by the First United Methodist youth as well as the opportunity to pick out any of the Harry Potter books not already on the book case at home. But the concert was the best part. We made it nearly to the end before I took the boys to the nursery, in their capes and still carrying their magic wands of course. They made very little fuss about going to bed tonight!
I would really like to thank Jason Curley, of the Hartwick Music Department, for his tireless efforts in carrying off the event. Also, I thought I would reprint some of the special thanks Lisa Jo Bezner, children's ministries coordinator at First United Methodist, expressed:
She wished to thank Sy Lloyd, Kathy Wolverton, Cat Littlehale, Teressa Sivers, Ken Baldwin, Stefani Paluch, Lucille Wiggin, Evie Sessions, Lynn Domina and Kip Stratton as well as some local businesses including Knitting It All Together, Green Toad Bookstore, and Latte Lounge, and Scholastic (for donating the books).
The event benefitted FUMC Childrens Ministries and Oneonta World of Learning (OWL).
