We'll have the 50/50 going on and I'll be donating my locks to Wigs for Kids and we'll do a raffle to see who cuts a lock and we'll send those donations to the kids also. It's been a tough year with all the tariff bull hooky so it'll be BYOB this year but there may be a late acquisition of a keg if we can swing it. Donations are always accepted. The Army of the Willing will be here to help out with any needs you may have so please give them a hug and smile because without them we wouldn't be having this much fun in the back yard.

Love and respect to all
