Thanks for all that came!!! We estimate there were around 650 folks! We served over 600 meals then stopped counting...
Thanks for Hitter23 and Boudlersdad (and esp Boudlersmom and BoudlersSister) among many others (Shep, Zanger, Derek, Shep's entire team - esp the Ky mom's and dad's, Floyd and his wife, Mike Wood, my lovely wife Lisa, and Jay's team parents) for all the hard work they did - it was an amazing time!
Quakerman - you are one special guy... I am so glad you came - I enjoyed talking to you - you have the biggest heart for the kids I have ever seen - and I can not thank you enough for your help - we found out at midnight that we had to put all 200 table and gazillon chairs up or lose our deposit .. Tim worked with us for over 90 minutes with us staking chairs and even swept the floor - he and I walked out together - closing it down around 2am .. thanks my brother!
Also - Crystl Bustos was great! I kept taking softballs to her to sign for the raffle and although she would bust (or better yet - Busto) my b***s - every time - she signed them all, took pics with the girls and even went up on stage and did our drawing and raffle with us... It is great to see someone that has accomplished so much - be willing to give back to the girls .. thanks CB!
