I'm still waiting on final numbers but did hear the live and silent auctions at Saturday's fundraising banquet raised more than $10,000 for our local ice rink.

That doesn't include ticket sales, games, the raffle table or money we made whenever someone ordered a featured drink from the bar. Plus we had something like $1500 in cash donations prior to the event (though some of that was spent on things we needed). So, considering this was the first (and only) time I ran this event, I think it did relatively well.

Now to start working on my next project for the rink...

Synopsis: Teenagers Steve Andrews and Jane Martin are on a date when they witness a meteorite crashing. They decide to search for it but come across an old man with an odd, slime-like substance attached to his arm and take him to see Dr. Hallen instead. When Steve sees the alien "blob" eat Dr. Hallen and grow, he realizes the whole town is in danger. But, nobody will believe him.

Synopsis: Six years after Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) was seemingly killed, the remaining survivors have turned their communities into safe havens. However, when Rick's daughter, Judith (Cailey Fleming), insists a new group of survivors be helped and brought to Alexandria, an overprotective Michonne (Danai Gurira) doesn't want them to stay.

After months of preparation, the annual fundraising banquet for our ice rink was finally held. I would describe it as a relatively decent success with us bringing in thousands of dollars.

It was, however, also somewhat stressful as far as organizing it goes. So, prior to getting ready for the event, I settled my nerves by getting some photos of birds on the bird feeder. Here are some of them.

Synopsis: Feeling her family is in a rut, Charlie Newton is thrilled to learn her mom's younger brother, Charlie (the man she was named after) is making a surprise visit. However, when Uncle Charlie arrives, he begins to act strangely. And, when two detectives also arrive, she begins to suspect her uncle is a wanted murderer.

Synopsis: With Dean (Jensen Ackles) still in a funk, Sam (Jared Padalecki) encourages his brother to investigate a case with him on Halloween involving possessed toys. Dean agrees and the brothers soon find themselves facing a comic book store owner's ghost that puts the two of them in a real-life horror movie situation.
