The "Maine Event!"

I have blogged about Owen's best friend Evan before. He is undergoing aggressive treatment for his abdominal tumor. We had an event at our home in honor of the Maine family. It was a party, a live and silent auction, and a good time for all. The Maines were there to party as well! Evan was one of the last to leave, what a little party animal!
Rob was the driver of the borrowed Polaris (thank you Scott!). He was gimping a little, so this was a perfect job for him. Our driveway is a bit steep and a tad precarious after a drink or two, so this was the perfect shuttle down to the pasture to avoid any future gimpings. Ron and Debbie are pictured here. Ron is gloating after he won 2, count 'em 2 baskets that I was bidding on...Oh well, He will put them to good use! When there is a competition I get a little feisty...
This is just half of our yard. I estimated about 80 people at the height of the evening. What an awesome turnout to support a sweet family.
The parking lot, er, pasture.

The man behind the event, my awesome husband! He had quite a bit of help from Dee, Randi, Dan, Colleen, Corral, and all of our Kaiser family to boot! We couldn't have done this event without you all. Chris was on it with obtaining donations, organizing the set-up, and coordinating BBQ's... He returned the last one (of 6) today!! Thank you Dan for slaving under the easy up..Nothing easy about manning 6 BBQ's in the sun, on a hot July afternoon...

MAINE FAMILY WE LOVE YOU AND PRAY FOR EVAN's HEALING DAILY!
