Sponsor a Tent
Sponsor a Tent
The tent sponsorship idea spawned from a conversation at the second Dinner in the Garden when we were laughing about my stress I felt that afternoon of watching the storm cloud literally pass directly over my neighbor’s house and barely dodge us.
There are a couple of options for tents that I would like to have here at the farmstead. One that is a 20’x10’ for the dinner table and an 11’x11’ that could be multi-purpose. I’ve also added an option to just donate $50 towards the purchase of either one and I’ll pool the sponsorships together to buy whichever one is needed first.
Thank you so much for your support!
The second Dinner in the Garden was when I knew I really needed to get pop-up tents to have on hand in case of foul weather. The weather report for days ahead kept teasing me with intermittent rain predictions during the day of the event and kept creeping up the timeline to exactly during service. On the day of, I started to feel a slight panic and made a game plan. I called up my step-mom and arranged to borrow one from her and one from brother John. It was a lot of extra coordination on my part and asking favors on the day of that left me drained and ultimately feeling in debt to people I was already asking a lot of in terms of helping with the dinners.
I had known long before I started the dinner series that I needed a foul weather plan if things did turn for the worse and the show must go on. I had budgeted to save enough for tents for sometime in July or August but the truth is that I will need them long before then. So as we laughed off the stress of the day around the table one of my friends suggested that I make it a sponsorship option. Why hadn’t I thought of that?!? So here we are.
