Some contributed money and others, event supplies or gifts for the teachers and children. We also sold, or tried to sell, Wood Magic Show T-shirts. Mississippi State told us that virtually everyone buys a T-shirt. That did not prove to be true for our program. Aside from T-shirt costs, we remained within the budget.
Plans are underway for next year's show.
We are primarily focusing our efforts on obtaining funding to hire a permanent staff person who would spend at least one-half time on Wood Magic. This would allow us to use the donations from industry and agencies for the show itself and help schools defray their costs. We are still considering our options. Many, many thanks to you, our donors, and friends of Wood Magic.
