Great Success This Weekend!

I am happy to say that two events held this weekend were met with GREAT success!!


The Shore BEEF and BBQ fed some hungry volunteer fireman during their first "THANKS TO OUR LOCAL VOLUNTEER FIREMEN" event. A nice crowd of fireman gathered for the free buffet and I'm sure they wished there had been more to attend. But, hey, when word gets around about that great food they missed they'll make it next time.


In this time in our lives when things around seem so dark and grim it should be a comfort to all of us that there are people in the community that take time to show their appreciation to those that unselfishly protect us.


In case you don't know Shore BEEF and BBQ is located on Route 13 just before T's corner.


In Pocomoke at the Pocomoke Community Center the Little Miss Hope Eastern Shore Princess Tea and Miss Hope Eastern Shore Pageant were held. Over 400 people attended and the pageant organizers seemed very pleased with the money they raised for the Courtney Bloxom Fund. So many people worked so hard to make this event the success it was. And even at the last moment when Miss America 2010, Caressa Cameron was not able to be there due to weather conditions in her area these organizers sailed through the evening, I am told. The Pettine sisters are winners themselves. They worked so hard for many months and one can't blame them if they just take a few days off for sleep! More on the pageant later today.

Please remember that Courtney still has a long way to go before she is completely recovered. Donations are are always appreciated and prayers are too.

Prayers don't cost a dime. They don't have to be mailed. You can send as many prayers as you want. They're free. In fact, you don't even have to remember Courtney's name. God knows who you're praying for.


Please keep Courtney in your prayers.

I bet all the girls had fun. What a great way to have fun and fundraise at the same time.
