Dadfest = Sweet!

Hey all,

Typically I drive home feeling pretty good about how things went almost every weekend. However, on weekend’s like Dadfest I find even greater energy pulling away after having taken the risk to try something “out of the box.” Dadfest is one of those great community building weekends where car owners, dads and attenders all get a chance to come together and hang out. Our hopes were that dad’s would be honored, people would connect with others and, ultimately, that lives would be impacted. From the looks of it, dad’s were honored considering we gave out almost 400 hot dogs. people were seen connecting over hoods of cars and lives were changed with one of our biggest “Yes” weekends in recent WB history. Over 30 people said Yes just at our little site which, believe it or not, is more then our response at Christmas and Easter…combined…wow! We had no idea the two events (Dadfest and Yes weekend) would come together at the same time, but God obviously had more in mind then we did.

Anyway – thanks to all those who recruited cars or bikes or were willing to bring their toys for us all to enjoy. Thanks also to the volunteers that help pull off weekends like these.

My wife and I are off for a 5 day trip to the U.P of MI to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We’ll see you on the weekend of the 4th.
