Camp Casey, Chili Cook-Out

Hannah pulling out chairs.

Supporting one of our projects, Camp Casey, today, four TWA ladies braved the elements. At eight in the morning, ignoring the strong winds and cold temperatures, Hannah and Edith dragged tables, chairs, and setup boxes between Troy Avenue and Nine Mile in Ferndale. Challenged by flapping tents slapping them around they mustered enough energy to complete the job and set up strings of lights in several young beech trees. Carol H. took over at eleven, made a quick detour to a nearby store for mittens, and spent the next five hours overseeing the entrance tent. Nancy D., a full-fledged supporter of this organization, remained there to the end, ten p.m.

It was an all-out effort with arts and crafts vendors and live music headlined by Josh Gracin, a country music artis who was the fourth place finalist during the 2003 season of America Idol. Although the weather didn't cooperate and attendance was disappointing, good spirits abounded.

Just as the group at Camp Casey continues to help kids conquer cancer one “Neigh” at a time, we look forward to supporting future events for Camp Casey.
