Yesterday and today have been pretty amazing. I have received plenty of tweets, emails and facebook notifications from friends asking about tonight's Voluntown CT Extreme Makeover Home Edition show. Most who asked about it want to know if I will be on TV tonight? For those who haven't followed, I was a lead volunteer coordinator for the build of our Connecticut Castle for the very deserving Girard Family in Voluntown CT.
To answer the question: I have no idea. If you have ever watched the show, they don't spend a lot of time showing volunteers. In fact, you might even think that Ty and his design team actually build the house. HA.
The best chance of spotting my chubby face will be during the Brave Heart March at the very beginning when the volunteers show up or when Ty calls the Girard family in Orlando. I was right behind Ty during the call.
Tonight the build team with their brown coats, volunteers with their blue shirts, and the whole dang community will come together to celebrate ABC's Voluntown Extreme Makeover - Home Edition. The 42 minutes of ABC's production is only a part of the festivities.
The doors will open at 6:15 for a 1-hour "Behind the Scenes" video. I'm guessing this will be the part of the evening that volunteers will enjoy most. I expect the hootin' and hollerin' to take place during the pre-show. The Ledyard Jazz Band will be there for the warm up.
I'm using the photo above as my fat photo for Weight Watchers. I joined on Thursday. Of course, I do have on 4 layers of clothing, a hard hat and I'm wired for radio communication, but that doesn't excuse my chubby face. Sorry Chris, I don't mean to imply you are fat too. Chris Colter, of Mad Science, was my partner during the CT Extreme Home Makeover project. It was extremely cold but we did eat well.
On being selected as Volunteer Coordinator.

The Girard's new castle.
Built in 106 hours in freezing temperatures, snow, and then followed by over 3 inches of driving rain.
Welcome Home Girard Family. Welcome Home.
