2008's Watermelon Festival

Sunday the 10th was so much fun. Church members, both First and Second, joined over 100,000 people in the streets of Carytown to celebrate Watermelon! Our double tents in the middle of the street showcased Science and Health in every language in which it's published, as well as the King James Bible, the Christian Science Monitor, and the Sentinel. Pink balloons printed with the words http://www.spirituality.com/ were a huge hit and a great giveaway for children, and both the Monitor and Sentinels were popular giveaways. We answered questions about Christian Science, about healing, and about where people could get the Monitor on a regular basis. Face painting, a Doggie Rest Stop water bowl, and a free bottle of water with every book purchase, were huge hits. These pictures were taken during the day.
