Escapade Staff Week

A little over a week ago, the 2012 Escapade Staff started

arriving and the

fellowship,

fun, and

food was soon to follow.

As every day passed the

group grew and

grew.

In the middle of all the food and fun, there were even a couple of informal

staff meetings.  Here, the Parking Chairs are getting an early briefing, while...you guessed it, the rest of us were

waiting on the food.

As the weekend came to an end and Monday morning dawned, it was time for all to get to work.

With everything already unloaded from

Big Red, we

were just waiting for

 

Mark and Wallace to bring

the materials to us for distribution.

Once everything was unloaded, it was time to get to work.

Donna and Keith, recruited Bob's help and got to work making

welcome packs for the vendors.

There were lots of staff meetings going on throughout the week.

Mark and I, along with Norm and Mary have been busy all week

hanging sponsor banners,

and past Escapade banners.

While Mary and I decorated for

staff Happy Hour and dinner,

Marcia and Bea were busy

in the kitchen preparing lots of

beautiful food trays!

As the week moved along, the

golf carts were delivered,

signs were hung,

Welcome Bags were stuffed and

and delivered to registration, and

rigs started arriving.

By Friday, the pace was picking up.  The

staff meetings,

and staff registration were successful.

The

Market area was made ready for the vendors to move in and set up their products.

As Saturday dawned, these lovely ladies were all smiles as they

served the staff lots of coffee and donuts.

And,

with the finishing touch made to the stage, we are ready for tomorrow's Opening Ceremonies of Escapades 2012, brought to you from Sedalia, Missouri.
