Anticipation...It has been worth the wait

Extreme Makeover Voluntown CT

The anticipated airing of the story about the Girard Family's newly built home in Voluntown, CT will finally show TONIGHT. From December 4 - 11, 2008, eastern Connecticut had a lot going on with thousands of volunteers working to get this new home built with Ty, Paige, Michael, Ed and the rest of ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition crew.

At 8 p.m. (EST) this evening, I encourage everyone out there to get into some comfy clothing, grab some snacks and kick back to watch this heartfelt story about this very deserving family. You will also see how the community that I come from has come together in masses to reach out to this family in need, by helping to get this home built.

For more information, here are a few resources about this show:

Cool I remember reading your post about this:)

Marlene.. I've had this on my calendar since December of last year. There is no way I'm missing this.

Thank you for the reminder! It should be very exciting to watch!

Hi Marlene, these stories always amaze me how FAST they can build a home.

How about an update?

Did you make it on?

I didn't see the episode.

Nope. Not a TV star here; that wasn't my intention. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to help.

Hi Marlene, just checking out your blog - thanks for visiting mine today. How neat of an experience! I always wonder how the neighbors really feel about all the attention paid to one family. Hopefully it's positive for all involved.
