A special thanks to Gabe and a group of students from Global Vision Christian School Broadfording. They were a GREAT help from setup, working stations, and cleaning up. We can't thank them enough!
And if anyone was accidentally missed, please forgive us! There were so many people on the parking lot this afternoon, and that is a GREAT problem to have! ❤️🙌
