GT COOKOUT / BLOWOUT!

GARAGE SALE: As you may already know, our Neighborhood Garage Sale was a huge success. I heard reports of over 45 houses participated. We had a great turnout and the rain held off until we were finished. I personally was impressed with the amount of traffic that we saw.
Friday night was also fun. I noticed Tonda walking around giving out the balloons and we did a walkabout as well. It looked like a few families decided to combine their efforts into one sale since some did not have enough stuff to sell to have their own sale.
I want to thank Tonda Griffin for all of her hard work. She has made our first annual Garage Sale a success! Please stay tuned for details on next years event.
