Hillbilly Website...

I never thought I'd see the day, but my sister Linda has made a website for the 2012 Hillbilly Gatherin'.  We are now officially "big time."  It's still a work in progress, but it's up and running and she did a mighty fine job!

I'm really excited to be helping out Wish Granters this year.  I remember so many times when I worked for Wishing Star, having people call me to ask if we did wishes for adults.  It was incredibly hard to turn them away.  Now with Wish Granters in existence, they have already done 30 wishes and have a lot more that they're working on.  If we raise our goal of $10,000 it will be the biggest fundraiser that they've done since their inception.  I'm determined!

So, check out the Third Annual Hillbilly Gatherin' website (can you believe how lucky we were that that domain name wasn't taken?!) and tell us what you think.  Any changes we should make or suggestions on anything we need to add?  We're still looking for a few sponsors ($250) to cover costs and lots more items for the silent auction.  If you're crafty and make something, or work for a company that might donate something, let me know as the more items we have, the more wishes we can all help make come true for adults with terminal illnesses.

Redneck Paintball Duck Hunting/2012 Hillbilly Games...

Kate emailed this to me, thinking we should add this to next year's Hillbilly Games. 

I need to decide if we'll be putting up tents and doing the games on the farm this year, or should I reserve the barn again?  Whether we do it at the barn or the farm, we'll have plenty of room at the farm for everyone to pitch their tents or park their campers for the night.

Which would you prefer - tents for shade and an improvised dance floor on the farm, or the comfort of the Hidden Springs barn?  I'm thinking we'll do it the end of April or sometime in May.

Our beneficiary next year will be Wish Granters of Idaho, a new organzation that really needs a good kick start. 

Yeehaw!
