Actually, there were three different sizes, but I went with the Metal 12 Row Casino Table Chip Tray with Cover and Lock. Mainly because it holds 720 chips. See, my thought process revolved around the fact that if you have professional looking chips, then you need a professional looking place to keep them. Needless to say, when we presented it to the church they were more than pleased with the results.

While they were grateful about the pricing, it was the fact that the Metal 12 Row Casino Table Chip Tray with Cover and Lock came with a lock and key. I actually bought it because of the size, but it did make sense that they wanted to keep everything safe just in case something were to happen. In the end, it became one of the pieces of the puzzle that volunteers needed to make sure they did while using the poker chips.

Not only did they deal for the patrons, they also became responsible for the Metal 12 Row Casino Table Chip Tray with Cover and Lock. We made everyone sign out on their particular one. That way, if something ever came up, we could go back and check the information. It was a complete success and was the biggest moneymaker this church has ever seen in its fifty-two year existence.

It's funny because you would have thought that watching all the other surrounding churches have festivals for so many years, we would have had one a lot sooner. Especially considering that we are the oldest standing in our little area. Nonetheless, it was a great weekend and we made enough money to cover our purchases as well as $4,000 on top of everything else. Yes, we're a bit small but just wait until next year.

You have to keep in mind our city is like Mayberry. It's one of those places where everyone knows everyone. However, next year we'll have a whole slew of people from around town and in other cities contributing. We've already set the goal to be over $10,000. Personally, my husband and I think that's a fairly small figure. Our goal is to hit around $25,000 considering it's a three-day event. We'll have to wait and see.
