All seemed to be having fun.

Letting them know they are loved always

and will never be forgotten.

Then what we feared the most, BAD Weather. Saturday morning wasn’t a complete wash out, but it rained hard

enough that we called the Relay for this year.

Decision to block gate for closing ceremonies

The Sheriff’s Office volunteered to use their car.
