Sam's Garden Friends New Years Barn Bash!

By Donald Cooper

Sam and the Garden Friends have a wonderful idea: throw a New Year's Eve barn bash and use it to raise money for the children and families at the Nasale Saves Lives Initiative in Uganda. The whole town pitches in, the barn is dressed in fabulous decorations, and a big-screen TV is set up inside so everyone can watch the Times Square ball drop and count down to midnight together.

There is plenty of good food, a full bar with drink tickets for the grown-ups, sparkling apple cider for the children, and a live DJ for all-night dancing. A friendly clown twists balloon animals for the children, and every partygoer gets a party hat and a noisemaker. Two surprise guests take the stage: an Elvis impersonator with his guitar, and a sparkling songstress lip-syncing Dolly Parton and Marilyn Monroe-style songs. After the show, the stars sign autographs and pose for pictures with their fans. At midnight, the grown-ups raise a champagne toast and the children raise their cider, and then the raffle drawing begins, with a five-hundred-dollar grand prize, a fifty-five-inch big-screen TV, and a two-hundred-dollar gift certificate.

When the counting is done and the thank-yous are said, the party money is packed safely away for Nasale, and Sam and the Garden Friends hang a paper chain to count the days until next year's party. It is a warm, funny, family-friendly story about celebrating together and sharing your joy with others.
