Not being ready to play againstthe previously winless Warriors(0-2) according to their headcoach and at least one player,Farragut’s Ice Admirals weredown 4-0 less than eight minutesafter dropping the opening puck.

“I think we didn’t have ourheads into it,” Brandon Timmis,FHS senior defender, said abouta 9-1 loss in this Knoxville

AmateurH o c k e yAsso-cia-tion High

School League game Thursdaynight, Dec 4, in the Icearium.“We weren’t playing like a team.No one was trying as hard as theycould.

“We have a bunch of[Warriors] friends out there, butwe just couldn’t pull it together.… The whole team just kind offell apart.”

Though FHS rebounded for aneven second period, one goalapiece, three more Warrior goalsin the third period added up to ablowout (clock runs continuous-ly after a six-goal deficit), drop-ping the Ice Admirals to 0-2-1.

Freshman John Barckhoff’sgoal in front of the net, assistedby Steven Popovich, wasFarragut’s only tally.

“They came out hungry. Theyoutworked us,” FHS head coachJeff Lindsay said. “Right fromthe drop of the puck they wentright down and scored. Theywere ready to play and our guysweren’t.

“I thought we were back ontrack last week with a 1-1 tiewith Bearden[/Karns], but theydidn’t show up. …. I think theywere just too laid back beforegoing out there,” he added.

However, “I thought our thirdline worked pretty hard, theyhad only one goal [scored]against them,” Lindsay saidabout Parker Miller, JessicaCallahan and Ethan Barnett.

“… Kyle [Lindsay] on defensedidn’t do too bad.”

A “hat trick,” from AustenThompson of Christian Academyof Knoxville (three goals) led theWarriors, who ended with a 22-15advantage in shots-on-goal.

The winless Warriors rebound-ed in style after losing their firsttwo games (2-1 againstBearden/Karns and 4-2 versusthe Knights).

With six team members fromKnoxville Catholic High Schooland two from CAK, the Warriorsalso feature Webb School ofKnoxville, Knoxville ChristianSchool and Hardin ValleyAcademy players.

The lone HVA player, juniorgoalie Josh Creed, saved 14 of 15shots.

“He’s done what he’s supposedto do. The goal tonight wasn’teven his fault,” David Roulier,Warriors head coach, said.

“I thought our team playedreally good tonight. I thought wepassed the puck a lot better thanwe usually do,” Creed said. “Ourdefense played fantastic. … Ithink this is just a big steppingstone for our team.”

Having participated in lastyear’s inaugural U.S. FlagRetirement ceremony onVeterans Day, girls fromAmerican Heritage Troop 413were anxious to spread the wordfor this year’s ceremony behindSt. John Neumann School andSJN Parish.

Reflecting on last year’s inau-gural ceremony at SJN, whichalso honored Veterans, Troop 413girls “loved it so much, and itwas so moving to them, that theyactually made sure all theirother friends came this year,”Lydia Donahue, Troop coordina-tor (ages 5 to 18), said momentsprior to the Tuesday afternoon,Nov. 11, ceremony. “And madesure that there was more kidscoming because they really felt itwas that important.”

As a result, Troop 413 partici-pation grew “from five to seven”last year to “between 15 and 20in 2014,” Donahue added.

With numerous Veterans fromAmerican Legion Posts 70, 256,278 and VFW Huff Post 5150 andother military veterans on hand,retired U.S. Army Sgt. George C.George LeCrone Sr., 5150, servedas emcee.

After a ceremony led byLeCrone underscoring the histo-ry of the flag and Veterans Day,

along with sharing Troop casual-ties and Missing in Action totalsin wars and conflicts dating backto World War I, he and other vet-erans retired scores of flags atfour bins. They were assisted by413, chartered by KnoxvilleChristian School, along withAmerican Heritage Troop 215,chartered by St. John NeumannParish and Cub Scouts of AmericaPack 125, chartered by SJN.

“I think the whole VeteransDay is important for them toremember, those who served ourcountry and fought for our free-doms,” Donahue, with twodaughters in 413 plus anotherwho “graduated” from the Troop,said. “To participate in every-thing that they can.

“I think it’s important tounderstand the importance ofthe flag, that there’s a properway to retire it,” she added.“George does a great job explain-ing to them the different parts ofthe flag and the importance ofthe flag and what it means.”

Scoutmaster ChristopherHorwege and his wife, ChristineHorwege of Farragut — thirdgeneration Veterans — are theparents of three Scouts who par-ticipated.

“We missed [seeing Santa]last year, so we came early thisyear,” Miller said. “Edie was avery good girl for Santa.”

“I think it’s awesome,” JoeyHowell of North Knoxville said.He brought his 4-year-old daugh-ter, Remmi Baker Howell, to theevent.

“We came here because weheard about it,” Howell said,adding, “She came for the cook-ies.”

AvaLynn’s little brother, Parker, 3,enjoyed the singing. “He loves tolisten to her sing, and sing withher at home,” said Montgomery,whose family — including hus-band, Jay Montgomery, andfather, Tom Parker — attendedits first Light the Park.

Season Henry of Farragut alsoattended her first Light the Parkwith daughters, Aubrey, 4, andRaleigh, 20 months, in tow.

Mom said Aubrey was “run-ning around wanting the lights tocome on already. … She wantsus to dance to the music.

“There’s lots of people fromchurch that we know who arehere [First Baptist Concord], soit’s a great community event. TheChristmas music, cookies, all ofit. I’m very satisfied with theatmosphere. Lots of Christmasspirit,” she added.

Henry’s husband, Blake, andmother, Valerie Armfield ofFarragut, also enjoyed the festiv-ities.

“It’s just nice to think I can dosomething for my country atsuch a young age. … People dothink the project is a very uniqueidea. That’s the thing I’m mostproud about,” Bennett said.

“I came up with a few ideas ofincorporating a flag retirementceremony along with somethingthat was well-needed here at thetown of Farragut,” JamesSchrubb, 555 Eagle Scout advi-sor, said.

Saying he knew of a similarretirement bin in Lenoir City, “Ithought this was something thatwas well needed for the town ofFarragut since talking with thesecretary in there saying theyhad so many boxes full in theirvault,” Schrubb added about the

roughly 4-foot-tall-by-18-inch-wide square bin with a triangularconcrete base. “… The Troopcould take responsibility forretiring the flags in an appropri-ate manor.”

A plaque on the west side ofthe bin acknowledges Troop 555and Bennett, who said he worked“133 man hours” on the entireproject. Having to buy a bin,Bennett said total cost of theproject was $618. Bennett and ateam of 555 volunteers put thered bin in place over a two-dayperiod in mid-September, dig-ging a small foundation and seal-ing it with concrete.

Bennett said “about 40” flagshad been collected from the binas of Wednesday, Nov. 26.

All U.S. Flags collected byBennett are eventually retired byTroop 555 “during camp-outs, wealways have campfires. …There’s usually a flag [retire-ment] ceremony,” Bennett said.

Bennett and Schrubb said theyhope citizens disposing of flagsin the bin will first fold them sev-eral times over. “If you put it inin a big wad as opposed to a tri-angle [fold], it would take upmore space,” Schrubb said,adding that any multiple-foldedflag deposit would work.

As for getting approval fromthe Town, “It took a couple ofmonths between us having tosend e-mails back and forthbecause of just getting the actualdetails worked out,” Bennettsaid. “It was pretty easy gettingpermission because they alreadyhad a bunch of flags in storagethey needed to get rid of.”

Sue Stuhl, Parks & LeisureServices director for town ofFarragut, said, “The members ofthe town of Farragut staff werehappy to work with Mr. Bennetton his Eagle Scout project andprovide a location for this proj-ect on the Town Hall property.”

One century for Furrow Automotive■ TAMMY CHEEK

[email protected]

Furrow Automotive Group,which started out as KnoxvilleMotor Company, is observing acentury of service to its cus-tomers in the Farragut and met-ropolitan areas this year.

Knoxville Motor Companyopened its doors in spring of 1915as a franchise dealer for JeffriesAutomobiles. One hundred yearslater, Furrow Automotive Grouphas built and sustained a reputa-tion focused on dedicated peopleand quality products, MichaelHoltz, z11 Communications, said.

Today, Mercedes-Benz ofKnoxville, Smart Car, Sprinterand Land Rover of Knoxville,make up the Furrow AutomotiveGroup in the Knoxville area whilethe company has Porsche, LandRover, Jaguar and Infinity inChattanooga, where FurrowTolsma’s husband, John Tolsma,is a partner.

“We’re proud of our history andheritage and honored to be along-standing corporate citizenin Knoxville,” Lee Ann FurrowTolsma, co-owner and presidentof Furrow Automotive Group,said. “Who would have guessed

that the original dealershipopened in a field on the end ofGay Street would grow into acompany that includes eightdealerships serving all of EastTennessee.

“We have great quality with ourstaff, customers and our prod-ucts,” Furrow Tolsma added.

“We are just trustees of every-thing we own,” her father, SamFurrow, Furrow AutomotiveGroup chairman of the board,said. “Basically, [being in busi-ness 100 years] shows the stabili-ty this entity.

“For the employees and us, it’sa sense of pride, and it puts aresponsibility on us to pass on tothe next generation [an entitythat is] greater than we receivedit,” Furrow added.

“We have a commitment, his-torically and in the future, toquality and excellence,” FurrowTolsma said. “Our business isthriving because of that excel-lence in quality.

“We got involved in 1980,”Furrow said. “It was just a per-chance meeting of guys whoowned the business.” Furrow andhis partners bought the businessand then he bought out his part-ners five years later.

A lot of noise in Lynn E.Sexton Gymnasium, perhaps asign that Hardin Valley Academyis catching Bearden as the topFarragut hoops rival, may havehelped Chris Cool’s Admiralscontinue its best start in years.

COOKEVILLE — An unselfish,hard working senior class, 13strong, was the driving force inleading Webb School of Knoxvilleto its third consecutive TSSAADivision II-A Football state title.

Using a 24-point second quar-ter to pull away, sparked by ablocked punt returned for a 15-yard touchdown by senior WrinnAlexander, the Spartans (10-3)beat Battle Ground Academy 38-

21 in the state championshipgame at Tennessee TechThursday afternoon, Dec. 4.

“The momentum changer wasthe blocked punt, it was huge,”said Dave Meske, having just wonhis seventh TSSAA state crownin 30 years as Webb head coach— fifth in the last six years. Thespecial teams score put theSpartans ahead for good 14-7early in the second quarter.

“Wrinn Alexander did a greatjob. We worked on that duringthe week. Robby Collier coaches

the punt return team. Hethought we could get a block.Wrinn did a good job executing

it.”Another

senior,Georgia

Tech commitment BrantMitchell, made big noise on bothsides of the ball.

His 10-yard scoring run as arunning back tied the score 7-7in the first quarter. Mitchellended with 111 yards on 23 car-ries.

“We played more power foot-ball, we were trying to get firstdowns,” Meske said. “Offensiveline did a good job [seniorsDustin Nickle, Bennett Harrison,Gage Thompson, Alec Vetranoand Cole Sams] and Brant ranhard. And then we worked every-thing else off of that.”

An All-state linebacker and Mr.Football statewide amongDivision II-A linemen, Mitchell’sinterception and 55-yard TDreturn made it 24-7. He laterpicked off another pass.

“I was really happy, the wholeyear, with our defense,” Meskesaid. “I thought we played wellon the defensive side. … Weplayed extremely well against therun and we made plays in thesecondary.”

Sophomore kicker AndrewFavaro nailed a 27-yard fieldgoal, in addition to converting onall five of his extra pointattempts, just before Mitchell’sinterception score.

Shockley in the game with twofouls, thinking it was only one, inthe first quarter.

Shockley, who ended with just12 points, picked up foul numberthree and had to sit out a largechunk of the second quarter.

The Admirals overcame a 29-20Hawks lead with 5:30 remainingin the half with a 19-3 run to takecontrol into the fourth quarter.

HVA then overcome a sevenpoint fourth quarter deficit with3:30 left to tie it, 65-65, on TylerDurden’s 5-footer with 2:28 toplay. The Ads, however, got a crit-ical late tip-in from Drew Driscolland two huge baskets each fromTy Allen (11 points) and DavidDawson (11), plus clutch defen-sive rebounds, to seal the deal.

FHS junior wing AlexanderRather scored a game-high 17.

Jason Mayfield, FHS Lady Adsskipper, said poor motivationaffected his defense and poorvision affected his offense when itcame to getting the ball inside to6-foot-2 junior post Jaiden McCoy.

Though McCoy wasn’t gettingenough looks from her team-mates when posting up accordingto Mayfield, in addition to“tweaking her ankle pretty bad”in the third quarter, McCoy stillfinished with 19 points and 12rebounds in helping Farragut saltaway victory late, 53-45.

But only after FHS trailed bysingle digits from the first quar-ter to midway into the thirdframe. “She battled. She’s atough match-up for anybody,”Mayfield said about McCoy.

The Lady Ads finally grabbedthe lead midmay into the thirdquarter, 31-30, on Anna Wood-ford’s lay-up as part of a 16-5 runto take a 41-35 lead after three.

For 103 years, people fromFarragut and the surroundingarea have been coming togetherto read and talk about books aspart of the Friday Book Club.

“We’re still going strong,”Jeraldine Macon, club memberwho served as the birthday lunch-eon chairman, said. “I think it’sgreat. The club has been in con-tinuous operation since 1911.

“We started out as friends get-ting together, drinking tea anddiscussing books,” Macon added.

The club now consists of 18members and one on a waiting list,with bylaws and a constitution.

“People from all around wholive in Farragut, Knoxville andeven Oak Ridge are part of thegroup,” she said.

“I think it’s a great club,” DonnaHawn of Farragut said. “They dopick some good books to read,too.”

Hawn said she has been a clubmember for more than 20 years.

Likewise, Irma McGuffey, alsoof Farragut, said she has been aclub member for more than 20years.

“We’re the oldsters,” McGuffeysaid, adding she enjoys a lot ofgood reading and good fellowshipas a member.

“It’s a lot of fun to hear themreview books we have not read,”she said. “It inspires us to read thebooks.”

One such book review thatinspired McGuffey was by Codo-leezza Rice, American politicalscientist and diplomat, she said.

Rosemary Fry, also of Farragutand the club’s corresponding sec-retary, said she has been in theclub for six years.

“I have three good friends in theclub already, and I love to read,”she said. “They talked about thebook club and invited me to join.”

Fry said the club expands herinterest in reading books she

would not have ordinarily read. “It makes me a better reader

and it’s been very enjoyable. Theladies are just lovely,” she said.

Macon said club members usu-ally have meetings in fellow mem-bers’ homes. They have lunch andreview a book.

“We have nine books we read,”she said. Two members read abook at the same time andwhomever has the book read first,gives a review.

“We meet nine months out ofthe year,” she said. “We take offJuly and August,” she said.

Macon, who served as recordingsecretary for three years, has beena member since 2000. This year,she served as chairman of theclub’s luncheon to celebrate its103th anniversary Friday, Oct. 3,at Fox Den Country Club.

“It was a buffet dinner,” shesaid. “The theme was Italy.”

Q: My veterinarian just told methat our Greyhound, ‘Shelby’, hasbone cancer. Our family is devas-tated. Wehave all th-ese deci-sions to ma-ke, and I’mreally strug-gling to kn-ow what todo for her. Patty, Farragut

A: Mycondolencesto you andyour family.A cancerdiagnosis is scary and overwhelm-ing. It’s OK to take some time toadjust to the idea and the changesthat go along with this, but thenyou need to really start thinkingabout what you want for Shelby.

Bone cancer, primarily osteosar-coma, is a fast growing and aggres-sive type of cancer. It occurs typi-

cally at the ends of long bones,such as the femur (thigh bone)but can occur in any bone, such asthe jaw or a rib. Osteosarcoma canaffect any dog or cat, but mostoften strikes older, large breeddogs.

Bone cancer is a very painfulcondition, so this needs to beaddressed now. Multiple oral me-dications can be given to help withthe pain. Unfortunately, this isonly helpful temporarily. The painintensifies as the cancer progress-es. Limb amputation is often dis-cussed as a way to remove the pri-mary tumor and source of pain.Radiation can also provide painrelief if amputation is not per-formed.

Because this type of cancer is soaggressive, the cancer has oftenalready spread (or metastasized)by the time of diagnosis. Your vet-erinarian will discuss chest xrayswith you, to check for visible signsof metastasis.

Unfortunately, amputation alo-

ne is usually not enough to elimi-nate the cancer. There are differ-ent types of chemotherapy avail-able for osteosarcoma. If Shelby isotherwise healthy, you may chooseto pursue this. We are thankful tohave veterinary oncologists herein Knoxville, veterinarians whospecialize in cancer care for dogsand cats.

Patty, there are many things foryou to consider when making yourdecision. These include, but arenot limited to 1. Shelby’s overallhealth status, 2. Cancer staging –whether she has obvious metasta-sis or not, 3. If arthritis is presentwill she be able to walk well withthree legs, and 4. Cost. Every pet,every family, and every situation isdifferent. Take some time, talk toyour veterinarian, and consider aconsultation with an oncologist.Best wishes to you and Shelby.

If you have questions aboutyour pet, you may email Dr. Myers [email protected]

I know, I know, you haven’t com-pleted your shopping andChristmas is the day after tomor-row. I get to say, “I know,” becauseI really do. I’m a Sidetracked HomeExecutive and in case you don’tknow, we SHEs are procrastinators.

So calmdown andb r e a t h e ,everythingis going tobe just fine.Get a penand paper,sit down wi-th your fav-orite drinkand think.Your cre-ativity is yo-ur specialgift and th-at super mi-nd of yours just waits for times likethis to come to your rescue. Knockand it will answer.

Here are just a few of the last-minute ideas I’ve come up withover the years.

1. Give from your kitchenSince I love to cook and I make

all my salad dressings from scratch,I’ve often given the dry ingredientsalong with the instructions to addolive oil and vinegar (you can pro-vide that too, but let the recipientshake them together later for afresher gift). I save glass jars andquart jars are the perfect size forthe recipient to add the oil andvinegar to the dry ingredients. Youcan also use those wine vinegar bot-tles for the oil and vinegar and putthe dry ingredients into one of thosecute little jars that sample jelliesand honey come in when you haveroom service at a hotel.

Gifts from your kitchen arealways welcomed. See what youcan whip up to give.

2. Give money Download Everybody Loves

Money from my website for ten funways to give cash using stuff you’vegot around the house or from thegrocery store.

3. Write a letter I love to write letters to those I

love and update them on howmuch they mean to me. Since wegive money at Christmastime,adding a page with my love adds somuch to the value of the gifts.

4. Stay away from the mall! When you’re in a rush, the brain

tends to give in to the pressure ofnoise, loud Christmas music andflashy displays. It just wants to getyou out of the chaos and get tosomeplace quieter. If you must togo to Target or Walmart, wearearplugs. My daughter Peggy dis-covered earplugs when she was ayoung mother. She told me theywere just like taking a tranquilizer.

At this point in time, it’s good toavoid stores that sell nothing butChristmas stuff. If you haven’thauled out holly, it’s too late. Anddo NOT go to any stores throwinglast-minute sales unless you wantto end up in therapy or handcuffs.

5. Plan for just one stop Before you head out spend at

least twenty minutes making a list ofwhat you need at the store. Thisthinking time will save you so muchtime when you’re out there. Pretendyou’re back in Little House on thePrairie days and you have to geteverything from Mr. Olson’s store.That will spark your creative mindas you look for what you need onthat list you took time to make.Note: don’t leave it at home.

Six last-minute gift ideasand some shopping advice

6. Give a gift of your time andenergy

One year my son Michael gavehis cousins a voucher he printed upon the computer to take them to amovie complete with treats. He toldme later, that he should have givenjust the movie because the combi-nation of movie and treats wentway over his gift-giving budget.

You could make vouchers foryour help with house cleaning, carwashing, gardening, sewing, laun-dry, baking, baby sitting, pet walk-ing, grocery shopping and such.

Be KindThe most important thing you

should do at this time is to be kindto yourself and don’t stress over thissacred holiday. And remember, likethe words to one of my favoriteChristmas songs, “It’s not the thingsyou do at Christmas, but the littlethings you do all year long.”

To borrow a sports phrase,Farragut High School StudentGovernment Association ralliedlate — a huge comeback in thefinal day after collections forLove Kitchen in East Knoxvillewere well under the same totallast fall — to set another record.

More than 13,000 cans werecollected in just five days (Oct.27-31), roughly 8,000 the finalday, surpassing last year’s recordamount for cans ever collected byone school for Love Kitchen.

As dozens of SGA studentsbegan rolling boxes of cans intothe Kitchen, those lovable andgrateful senior citizen twins, LoveKitchen founders Helen Ashe andEllen Turner, were once againastonished by what they wereseeing.

“We did not think we weregoing to get even half of what wegot last year, but we ended up get-ting more,” said senior K.C. Ward,Class of 2015 vice president andone of roughly 80 SGA memberscontributing time, cans and cash.

“Oh honey, isn’t this a bless-ing?” Helen said as the carts com-ing in resembled train cars run-ning on a track. “You all just don’tknow how we appreciate it.

“That’s why we’re doing what wedo,” Bartlett added. “We havegreat kids. You can see how goodthese kids are.”

The students’ goal was to raise$10,000 with the telethon, Harmonsaid.

“We know it’s lofty, but we likeour students to set their goalshigh,” she added.

The telethon featured inter-views and videos highlighting

Second Harvest programs, per-formances by the school’s cheer-leaders and a can sculpture con-test, Harmon said.

The group winning the cansculpture contest included ClaireNapier, Beth Lynam, Taylor Blake,Callie Elonen, Sophie Baker, TylorSherrod, Morgan Johnson, ArianaDotson and Camilla Fielder.

along with Piper Givens andKelsey Kinser, committee chairs,who planned and organized thetelethon.

“This [program] was very ambi-tious for us,” Harmon said.

“I think it is a great thing forBearden High School,” Givenssaid. “We’ve had some lower levelsof participation in the past coupleof years, so I’m hoping thisfundraiser will really open upSecond Harvest to the communityand bring in a little moreoutside participation and bring indonations.”

“[The students’ telethon]moves me so much,” ElaineStreno, Second Harvest executivedirector, said, adding the stu-dents’ efforts show amazing spiritand compassion for the 130,000people Second Harvest tries tofeed every month.

“We serve 18 counties, so it’s abroad challenge,” Streno said.

“This is special,” Dr. JohnBartlett, Bearden High Schoolprincipal, said. “It’s all student-led and produced, so it’s Bearden

as well as last year. We were con-cerned about even meeting maybehalf of what we got last year,”Stephens added about having onlyabout 1,000 cans after two days. “It

was just a really big group effort.“It was insane.” Using $1,988 in FHS student

donations Friday morning justhours before its scheduled deliv-

ery, SGA members went to a dis-count grocery store in Lenoir City“and in under an hour we got 2,500cans in three cars” Ward said.

After the delivery, SGA students

stood in a small line to get theirchance to personally meet, hugand have their photo taken withHelen and Ellen.

Bearden High, Harmon said. Shetold him the students would like todo a telethon for Second Harvest.

“We’ve always done a fundraiserfor Second Harvest for the past 20years,” she said.

“In the last couple of years,we’ve raised $40,000 to $60,000 forSecond Harvest,” Bartlett said.

“Bearden has a long history withSecond Harvest,” Kinser said.

In 2005, Ogden said BHS stu-

dents joined other Knox Countyschools in “6 Shares,” a friendlycompetition between schools to seewho could raise the most donationsfor Second Harvest.

“We used to compete withFarragut High School,” Kinsersaid. “They switched to supportthe Love Kitchen, so we had tocome up with new and innovativeways to raise money we previouslyraised by competing.”

each year,” he said. “It’s thebiggest fundraiser we have by far.”

Nelson said sales were down alittle bit this year, however.

“There’s a lot to fruit to buy from

different bands,” she said. “But,overall, it’s encouraging. There’s awhole crop of freshmen who didvery well in sales; so hopefully, wethink that’s a good indication ofgood things to come in the future.”

Last year, the band raised$28,000 from the fruit sale.

“I’ve been in the truckingindustry all my life, and the Lordhas blessed us in so many ways,”Breeding, who owns and operatesConestoga Transport with his son,said. “This Big Rig connects threethings I enjoy: trucking, barbecu-ing and sharing,

“We do not do this as a busi-ness, and we are not for hire. Wehave never charged for our foodor service,” he said. Among thecharities and non-profit groupsfor which he has cooked are EastTennessee Children’s Hospital,Muscular Dystrophy Association,First Baptist Concord, Partnersin Health to benefit Hope forHaiti, Hope Resources for crisispregnancies, Knox Area RescueMinistry for the homelessand Shangri-La TherapeuticRiding Academy for folks withdisabilities.

“We will do some of those andothers each year,” he said.

The Big Rig was custom-builtby O.H. Hendricks in Memphis,and Breeding said it is one of akind. The trailer is about 30 feetlong and weighs about 18,000pounds.

“We carry everything we need,including a cooler for the meatand a generator to run it,” hesaid. “We have fish fryers thatheat from propane and a two-sided barbecue section that we’llput about 500 pounds of charcoalin for a full days’ cooking event.”

The endeavor, which started in2010, was an idea he had in themiddle of the night, Breedingsaid.

“It was a God-given idea,”Denise said. “It took me a year tocome around and say ‘yes, let’s dothis.’”

“Barbecue has always been oneof my hobbies, along with cookingin big skillets,” Breeding said.“For a while, my wife and I cookedfor friends and family; but eventu-ally, we wanted to do somethingmore. We decided we could givesomething back by taking barbe-cuing to a new level and helpingothers.

“My family and friends reallyenjoy coming out and helping atthese events,” added. “The truckand trailer make it fun for us todo.

“Our favorite is baby back ribs,”Breeding said. “We also cookedsmoked pulled pork barbecue,chicken, brisket, bologna, corn inthe shucks and all types of smokedveggies.

“Then, we cook cobbler dessertsin Dutch ovens over charcoal.Most folks can’t get enough,” headded. “We have our own barbe-cue sauce, Conestoga, named formy son’s and my trucking compa-ny, Conestsoga Transport.”
