I've certainly talked about the Freedom Festival a lot lately and our event on Monday was certainly a success.  I would even go so far as to say that God really loved us and our event because it rained on Monday... it rained across the street, it rained two coves to our right and two coves to our left, but we just got a little cloud cover and a sprinkle and we just kept going.

Our first year road race had nearly 300 participants. It was a very long week and at the end of the week I was given one final task for this year.  Some of the sponsors didn't come to the event and pick up their sponsor packets.  So tomorrow I will be spending my day driving from place to place making delieveries.  Of course I will be thanking them and gearing up for next year's event too.

I have a lot to do, but giving my time to a Charity that I feel is so worthy feels really good.  The money raised by the Lake Country Freedom Festival goes to fund Kamp Kudzu.  If you are local to the Lake Sinclair area and would like to get involved in a great annual community event that helps lots of kids check out the website for LakeCountryFreedomFestival.

And tomorrow if you see me buzzing around town while delivering sponsor packages, make sure and say hi.  And make plans now to be at Crooked Creek Marina on the 4th of July 2012.  And of course you'll want to make plans to eat at Bone Island Grill lots of times between now and next 4th of July.

I am so glad your event went well. What drew you to this charity as a place to donate out of all the possibilities?

Hi Tammy. You are certainly getting a head start on next year. You have a worthwhile charity there, and I hope you get a lot of sponsors to support your event.

Tammy- So glad to hear that things were able to still proceed over there. I thought about all of you guys. Had I not been in Atl with my hub-to-be from 8 in the morning on Sunday until 5:30 the next morning setting up and breaking down a wedding I would have been there. I was dead to the world by about 4 p.m. come Monday. Next year though!

Mona- we'll only get a month off then start on next years.  There are planning events, fund raising dinners, silent auctions... to plan before next year.  Between this even and work... and teaching Sunday School... I stay busy.

Maya- knowing the absolute heart ache of having a child with a diaognosis of a diseas is what has driven me.  I also support the MDA as my husband's youngest was diagnosised with that at 12.  So it's just my love for children that drew me into this event.

Jerry- we'd love to be able to eventually "branch out" in other directions with our money also so growth is very important to us.

Margie- I will save a volunteer spot for you next year girl.  And perhaps your future husband too?

Great job Tammy. You are so right that giving time to a worthy charity is a great thing. I know you have been busy, but there will be time to rest a bit in the near future. Best of luck and be well my friend.

What a great success the Lake Country Freedom Festival was Tammy. It takes many volunteers like yourself to accomplish that and to be able to benefit Kamp Kudzu. Great job!

Cal- I am looking forward to a nice long vacation this fall.  Until then I'm okay with busy busy busy.

Marie- the weather was certainly a blessing from God.

Carla- That's funny I wore red and white today too.  And it never crossed my mind I looked like Santa. LOL

Carol- in 2010 we had about 50 or so volunteers, this year over 200.  It was such an amazing day.
