August 25th provided us with great weather for the 2012 Russel's Ride!
Registration table ready ... just like working for the county ; )
Her very own Russel's Ride onesie! Dan Teal with daughter Kaitlin.
We had 18 bikes, 4 vehicles, and 34 people make the trip to Hunter's Pub in Lafayette. Many people came to the farm to see the group off and witness the fly over by Agri-Flite and Nick's Flying Service. Watching the crop dusters fly over reminds us the thrill Russel experienced while flying and how happy he was those 6 weeks he dusted. A BIG shout-out to our pilots - Nick Yoder, and Garrett and Dave Eby!
Heading straight for us!
And here comes the smoke.
Group shot in front of the barn that's being torn down.
The Charity Auction was also a big success with several items bringing more than their value! The John Deere toy tractor was bought by three gentlemen and then re-donated to be sold again - bringing $140 total!
We've reached $3000 raised with more t-shirts to deliver and donations to pick up.
Thanks again for your support, prayers and donations - we couldn't do it without you!
