Most of you probably still know more about all this than Gregg and I do. Last Sunday, a group of our close friends/family/coworkers held a benefit for Gregg and I here in Oshvegas. It was an amazing thing. They spent an awful lot of time and energy for little old us. Check out the website here if you've not seen it yet.
Sunday Funday was a roaring success. We had 4 bands play, including a local favorite CopperBox. There were too many sponsors to count! There was a HUGE silent auction and so many raffle items they had to do two shifts. Some of the sports memorabilia that our brother in law Dan donated brought on bidding wars. =) We had several handmade quilts and afghans, including a gorgeous airplane quilt my aunt made. There were some one-of-a-kind items like a pre-EAA Museum bronze plate and even a 5 star fishing vacation in Canada.
We had family come from all over the country and friends too. Greggs sister and brother in law came all the way from Seattle with their 2 month old baby boy. My sis and her hubby surprised me and came from Virginia Beach. Gregg's childhood friend Chad came all the way from NYC without letting us know ahead. It was all pretty special.
Gregg and Adam were invited to play with CopperBox for a couple songs and had a great time. And somehow Adam got roped into dropping trou and showing off his ACDC underwear for $157 bucks we collected from the audience. HIlarious!
We are both still riding a high from the whole thing.
Thanks so much to all of you out there who were involved. The scope of the whole thing is astounding. We were, and still are, totally overwhelmed. I can't imagine that we will ever be able to thank you all enough or in a way that will make me feel like you understand how we feel. I tried to hug as many of you as I could on that day...but it was like our wedding day and I didn't get to say more than two words to so many of you.
Thank You!
Ok, so on to the really fun part, here is the slideshow of stills that our friend Jim took that day. Enjoy!
I'll try to add more pics as they come in. Here's one of Gregg after receiving his signed shirt. =)
