🎃💛 A SeptOberfest Thank-You Fit for a Legend! 💛🎃
If you’ve ever walked through SeptOberfest with a pumpkin under your arm, glitter on your shirt, or a smile stretched from ear to ear… you already know Lorie.
SeptOberfest is what we all love because of her. ❤️
From the very first decorating tables to the laughter of hundreds of little artists each year, Lorie was there — giving, creating, supporting, and believing in what this festival could be. Even in retirement (note this pic is from 2024), she continues to lift this community up by sponsoring our decorating pumpkins! That isn’t just a donation… it’s heart. It’s history. It’s everything that makes SeptOberfest ours.
Her generosity keeps this tradition alive and thriving for kids of ALL ages, and her impact lives in every photo, every painted pumpkin, and every magical moment that happens under the fall leaves in Heritage Park. 🍂🎃🌟
To Lorie — we are endlessly grateful for you, your passion, and your years of dedication to this festival. The legacy of joy you’ve created is seen in every busy craft table, every messy paintbrush, every sparkling pumpkin masterpiece.
Thank you for helping SeptOberfest become the unforgettable celebration we all cherish. And thank you for continuing to give, support, and believe — long after the work was “done.” That’s how true community champions are made. ❤️
If you have been to SeptOberfest… you’ve felt Lorie’s magic.
We are so lucky to call her part of our story.
