Some Festival numbers for Thursday...

Well, actually, I don't have the exact numbers for Thursday's attendance, because this day is keeping us hopping so much that I haven't been able to corner Bill and get them! I will, though. I do know that we broke yet another record and had our best Thursday ever.

Meanwhile, I know that our Merchandising counter has been flying through the items! They did $1,900 in sales yesterday and they're starting to run out of a few things, so this is the day to grab your stuff if you can. We now sell merchandise online as well, though, so if the item you had your heart set on is no longer available, talk to them and see if you can arrange to receive it after the Festival.

The Challenge Match is going strong as well! We took in $5,000 in generous donations from all of you yesterday, and our meter now stands at $31,000! We're within shouting distance of our official goal! Don't let that deter you from donating too, though, because Cuyahoga Arts and Culture will continue matching donations up to $126,000! The more we bring in, the more spectacular we can make next year's Festival and the further we can take our mission.

I'm still working on that story I mentioned, but I hope to have it up later today or tonight. It's really cool, so keep checking back. ;)
