Ethnic Enrichment Festival report

We implemented a number of labor-saving practices this year, and our volunteers loved them.  Of course, it raised our costs a little, but that's ok.  The problem was the rain on Sunday of the festival which affected our (and everybody else's) sales.  The attendance estimates were quite high (by the Festival staff), but traffic to our booth seemed more relaxed than the past few years (maybe we were just more efficient?).
