🍂 Fall Festival Appreciation! 💚

As we celebrate the success of our Fall Festival, we want to give a special shout-out to the wonderful people who helped make it happen. Today, we’re showing our appreciation for all our other Vendors and Resources✨

🍂🛍️ Thank you to all the wonderful vendors who joined our Fall Festival!

Our Fall Festival was made even more special by the local businesses, vendors, and community members who shared their time, talents, products, and services with us!

Thank you for setting up, connecting with our guests, and helping create a lively, welcoming atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. Each of you brought something unique to the event, and we’re so grateful you chose to spend the day with us at Taking the Lead. 💚

Community events are about more than just fun activities. They’re about bringing people together, supporting one another, and creating opportunities for everyone to feel included and connected.

Thank you for being part of that mission and helping make this year’s Fall Festival such a special day. We appreciate every one of you! 🐴✨

🤠💃 Thank you, Kyrsten & Cody, for bringing the fun wherever you go!

If you joined us for our Fall Festival, you know that line dancing was a wonderful way to end the day! A huge thank you to Kyrsten and Cody for sharing their energy, talents, and love for our community.

But their support for Taking the Lead goes far beyond the dance floor! 💚 They’ve generously supported us financially and volunteered their time at both our Fall Festival and our Line Dancing Fundraiser. We’re so thankful to have partners who believe in our mission and continue to show up for us in so many ways.

And if you’re planning a wedding, party, or special event, be sure to consider Kyrsten and Cody for your DJ needs or next activity-filled celebration! They know how to get people involved and make an event extra memorable. 🎶✨

🍂 Fall Festival Appreciation! 💚

As we celebrate the success of our Fall Festival, we want to give a special shout-out to the wonderful people who helped make it happen. Today, we’re showing our appreciation for Our Volunteers!✨

Our Fall Festival wouldn’t have been the same without our amazing volunteers! And while we didn’t manage to get everyone together for one big group photo this year (we were all a little too busy making the magic happen! 😉📸), we’re sharing a little throwback to last year’s Fall Festival to celebrate the wonderful people behind it all!

From helping guests find their way and keeping activities running smoothly to assisting with crafts, games, animals, and everything in between, our volunteers helped bring the day to life. Every helping hand, smile, and act of kindness made a difference!

It takes a village to create a welcoming space for our community, and we’re so lucky to have one filled with people who care so deeply. 💚

To everyone who volunteered before, during, and behind the scenes, THANK YOU! You may not all be in one picture, but you’re all a big part of what made this year’s Fall Festival so special. 🐴✨

Thank you for your incredible generosity and continued support! 💚

Our Fall Festival wouldn’t be possible without you. Your donations help us create a space where everyone belongs, and we’re so grateful for the difference you make!

For many children and adults with disabilities, autism, or sensory and behavioral needs, community events can sometimes feel overwhelming or inaccessible. Some families miss out on these experiences because they worry about how their loved one might be received.

At Taking the Lead, we want every individual and family to know that they are welcome here, exactly as they are. 💚 There’s no need to fit a mold or be anything other than yourself. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and sensory-friendly space where everyone can make memories, connect with others, and simply enjoy being part of the community.

To our Charlie’s Circle members, thank you for helping make that possible. Your generosity goes beyond supporting our programs — it helps create meaningful experiences, lasting connections, and a community where everyone belongs.

You’re changing lives, one ride and one meaningful moment at a time! 🐴✨
