A recap of a few of the events as they happened this year.

This year your food donations were extra special, all food collected at this years event was personally being delivered to Hurricane Survivors; by one of our very own Jaycee members:
(Tonya Lafave), she was heading out to Mississippi to personally deliver the food and other donations and help out and make the holidays a little brighter this year for those less fortunate.  A special thanks to Tonya for her efforts!

(Update:  Tonya had a safe trip to Long Beach, MI; they delivered all the food that was donated and money given to her for the Hurricane victims.  She said the trip was an amazing experience and anyone interested in doing something like this should.  It's hard to conceive that so many months after the Hurricane's that there is still so much devastation; and in places it seems hardly anything has been done.  The workers slept in a gym (they were fortunate, the temps were around freezing and many victims were still sleeping in tents).  They would serve meals to around 1,500 to 2,000 people a day.  They also spent some time off site working on debris removal in a home.  We applaud her efforts and hope the donations made a differences in some lives that she and her group touched, we know they did).

This year's winners of the prizes were as follows:

Softball Tournament Winners

Today was all about kids, we had hayrides, a dunk tank (many took hits at the Mayor and Police Chief), tug-of-war, bounce cage, face painting, spin art, leap frog, batting cage, and even build a duck house.  We also had our local police, fire and rescue out and visible with stickers, badges and hats for the kids.  The ultimate was when the rescue helicopter landed in the field out back - all the kids went running.

For adults and kids alike, we did dabble in a few bingo games and had many winners - walking away with large prizes like $5.

The evening cooled down and Jonah & The Whales was our entertainment for the night, our turnout was not as high as the night before, but as you can see by the pictures - those who attended had a really good time.  The band was a lot of fun too, they even posed for me on our grand prize - a Polaris 4-wheeler - check out the pictures below.

At 10:00 p.m. we drew names for the 7 prizes and can you believe not one person was present during the drawings (it was not necessary to be present, it would have just caused a little more excitement).  Word spread and someone called the grand prize winner - he ended up showing up later in the night to claim his prize.  He said, "he does not have a 4-wheeler at this time, but looks forward to enjoying his new prize", he also said, "this never happens to him".  Congrats to our big winner Kevin!
