This year's event was good. We had a total of 23 trucks in the convoy. Last year there were 50, but with the economy & fuel what it is I think we did very good. Our good friends who own the company that Hey Baby works with on his days off from his other job, were able to carry two athletes in their truck which was great. The boys had a wonderful time.
If you get the opportunity to support Special Olympics, PLEASE DO!
Friday night there was a softball game between drivers and athletes, the athletes kicked the drivers butts!!!
Saturday morning before the convoy started there was the opportunity to bid for the first & last place in the convoy. This raises extra $$$ for athletes. Boss Man won that bid and since he had two trucks, ours was first & he was second. We had lots of KY police & sheriff help. The on ramps were stopped as we passed, making some smile while others looked quite upset. We were told as we were leaving the parking lot this would be the only time we would not have to stop when we saw blue lights!:)
Also, a BIG thanks to the Southeast Christian Church http://www.southeastchristian.org/ for allowing us the use of their facilities.
