This past Saturday, May 21st, Residential Services Inc. participated in it's first Hillsborough Hog Day!!!
The Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce website explains, "While barbecue is the basis of the festival, fun for the whole family is the focus. A variety of activities are held each year as part of Hog Day: fun contests, including Hog Hollering, and Guess the Weight of the Pig contests; the area’s largest antique car show, an arts & crafts area with more than 100 vendors; and a children’s area featuring activities and rides. Hillsborough Hog Day also offers regionally and nationally known musicians, live on stage throughout the kickoff party on Friday night and all day on Saturday."
Considering we were first time hogger's, I must say we did pretty good! We were able to make some new friends,receive donations, and get sun burnt! All in between working our RSI table and sampling the endless possibilities of food (everything in moderation).
In efforts to continue to raise money for the Recreational Activity Center, Life Options has generously donated a Chest of Treasures to be raffled off!(see picture to left: gift basket).
This Chest of Treasures includes the unique work of LO employees in greeting cards and boutique style jewelry (which is made entirely from recycled products). With the treasures valued at a total of $150.00, this is a FANTASTIC deal because we are selling raffle tickets for ONLY $5!! ($5 each or you can purchase 5 for $20!)
Luckily, there is still time for you to get your tickets! The raffle will be held on June 3rd. So treat yourself or a loved one to a one-of-a-kind gift basket and help support individuals with developmental disabilities. Come get your tickets today!!
