Last night was the big throwdown to raise money for a new feature in the Lyons Whitewater Park, the October Hole. Check this link for more details. There was a TON of stuff that had been donated for the silent auction. On top of that, the food was superb, the band was rockin, and there was a bunch of schwag freely given out. All in all a great night.
With a hungry 3 year old in tow, we quickly commandeered a booth and headed for the food.
It was quite the spread. Everything from roast chicken and pulled pork to okra and creamed spinach to brownies and peach cobler. The beer wasn't included with admission, but it was bountiful as well. After a few of Dale's finest, things were really starting to happen. After filling my plate a few times too many (I did have to keep up with the beer...) I headed over to the silent auction room to check the donations. For those of you familiar with Oskar's, the entire upstairs bar was filled with donated goods to raise money for the bikers.
It was hard to just get thru to see what to bid on. This one was evident upon walking in, though:
Kipchogee was kind enough to donate the Xtracycle and Redstone donated the bike. All together, a super duper kayak hauling machine. For a town this size, you can't beat it. I haven't heard if they hit the magic number or not, but it was sure a hell of a time. We partied, raised money, and did some serious shit talking. Perhaps some good will come out of it and Greg will actually read his manual...
Anyway, if you see these two cats around, make sure to give them a big pat on the back for A)a great party and B)a killer place to boat.
