The warriors and their families arrived on Friday evening to a dinner hosted by Faith Baptist Church. On Saturday they experienced the Best Fest compliments of the Knights of Columbus. Everyone enjoyed the different sausages with sides dishes and the music. Children on the other hand enjoyed the face and pumpkin painting and games.
Mike and Debbi McCurdy hosted a chuck wagon meal on Saturday evening with music provided by Soul Patch. The warriors were welcomed to the event by a group of local friends the McCurdy's had invited. There was lots of conversation as the two groups got acquainted.
It was such a scenic view from the McCurdy ranch to see the hills in the distance, the deer grazing and the sun set. Of course, God provided perfect weather. Just what the soldiers needed—a quiet, relaxing, food filled evening. I am sure they returned to their place of lodging ready for a good night's sleep.
None of this would have happened but for the Generosity of the community. We appreciate those who hosted the families in their B&B’s, Faith Baptist Church for the delicious Friday night dinner, the Knights of Columbus for once again waiving Best Fest entry fees, the McCurdy's who graciously hosted the chuck wagon dinner, Soul Patch for sharing their talent, and all the local residence who helped make the warriors feel welcome. We are looking forward to our November R&R (11/14-11/16).
