Well hello to you all. What a fantastic weekend it was, and now as we all sit back and reflect about (one would ask) “how do we top that one?” Frumpy suggested possibly a 100 foot Ferris wheel and Johnny suggested a petting zoo.
So if you missed the last DeBetto Fest, you missed a lot. Let me give you all a few of the highlights. Friday night was the 5th annual Staff party. We had some of the best steaks on the grill that money could buy, (Thanks Pete) not to mention some of the best whiskey money could buy as well. Needless to say for me, it was a 22-hour day (after putting in a half day at work starting at 2AM) we called it a night. I guess you could say it was a bachelor party in a sense for um-wha too. Thanks KW, Uncle Richie and DD!
Then came Saturday. We had so much to do in preparation for (not one) but two Weddings that day - yeah you heard it right - that's my big size 16 down below here in case you're wondering who's hand that is. Pat brought up the catering wagon just for this special day. I supplied the burgers and hot dogs for the first round and by Saturday night Pat was making some awesome funnel cakes, onion rings and meatball subs. Wow, now Frumpy put together an Automatic Slushy machine compete with piña colada’s and some other frozen concoctions at 190 proof.
But let's back up a minute here. 11AM came and it's Bobby and Jobi's turn first to tie the knot. Bobby dressed in complete military attire and Jobi looked stunning in her dress. A military wedding – sweet! Then, 2PM came and it was our turn. "Red Neck Yacht Club" was the best way to describe me and Andrea's outfits. Not many people I know ever get married in a bathing suit and a black tux shirt, but you just gotta know me.And thanks HT for making it short and sweet – Priceless! If you witnessed this ceremony you definitely got an earful here.
So then the party began. All in all we had about a hundred guests pass though the ranch over the 2 day event. We had four different bands pick some music and when it was all over and done the dozen or so campers pulled out. We had three 60" bags full of empty cans and bottles - now that's a party! Thanks to perfect weather - Thank you god! (After last year I knew you would hook us up one more time)
What a great weekend as we all enter into the next phases of our lives. How can you describe it any better than that? So as we close, I want to thank all of my staff helpers - KW, Cindy, DD, Pat, Frumpy, Pak Rat - what can I say? Without you all we would be nothing ... oops I stole that line sorry.
Anyway, thank you again. Not to mention all of my brothers and sisters that traveled the ends of the earth to be up on god's knob for such a special event.
On to this weekend: Friday Night at 9PM we’re at Davy's. C'mon down that country road and set a spell. And a very special show this Saturday as we're back down to Gordy's Place in Damascus - right outside of the village of Windsor on old Rt. 17. The Show starts at 8PM. You remember this place - this is the one I told you all about the fantastic wings they serve. Yum!
So what else can I say? We’ll see you all soon, be safe and God Bless
