As our departure date of November 11th gets closer we continue with our attempts to showcase some pretty cool folks one more time over the weekend πŸ˜Ž!

Kalee Bunn, Dakota Walls and Vickey Ritchie will be in our spotlight over the next 72 hours. βž• our beloved Duke University Football 🏈🏈🏈🏈 team.

Kalee Bunn in action 🎬

Carroll County High School graduate πŸŽ“ Kalee Bunn is closing in on adding Ferrum College graduate πŸŽ“ to her list of accomplishments ! Ferrum is now down to just five home matches and Friday night at 6pm is our best opportunity to show support for a former Lady Cavalier.

Noon Saturday – favored by 1.5 against an undefeated team ?!
Saturday Night Racing 🏎

The next stop βœ‹ will allow us to catch up one more time with Carroll County High School Sophomore, Dakota Walls. Dakota is coming off a 4th place finish last week at the same track.

Sunday afternoon will be spent at Hillsville Elementary School assisting Coach Vickey Ritchie with her Special Olympics Basketball πŸ€ practice.

Should be fun, as none of these stories are Newspaper πŸ“° type stories but each of them are important to people that are important to us.

Last night at Floyd County High School 🏫 was yet another great opportunity to share a moment with Sherry Slaughter! Neat, Neat Lady who has duel citizenship in Carroll & Floyd County..

Sherry works out here in Laurel Fork as she plays a HUGE role in making everything run smoothly at Olde Mill Golf Resort β›³. Working alongside Bo Goins and Hagen Giles, Sherry is part of a great team and works within shouting distance of her Mother πŸ‘© as Mom does the same at our restaurant.

Sherry and Bo

Β  Now let’s connect the dots between Sherry, Vickey Ritchie and Linda / myself over the past 96 hours.

Friday we crossed paths after Boo Ridge prep. Catching both Bo and Sherry together was a Blessing.

Saturday morning πŸŒ„, Sherry and her daughter drove over to Hillsville Elementary School to support Vickey and her Special Olympics effort at Boo Ridge!

Sunday it was back to Hillsville Elementary for Vickey and Basketball practice and then on to Harrisonburg for Trace Reavis golf coverage.

Being that Carroll County plays out at Olde Mill, Sherry had a vested interest in Trace and followed the coverage on our site.

Full circle πŸ”΅, Sherry was at the Floyd County Volleyball 🏐 match last night as she resides on their s side of our neighborly County line.

The photos πŸ“· above came from Sherry after her visit to Boo Ridge.

Whole Lotta of Vickey Ritchie, Linda Carter and Sherry Slaughter in my life the past few days !! If one is going to run themselves ragged, I could not imagine three people who I would rather have been with.

Vickey Ritchie, we have to stop meeting like this ! Life is Good when one interacts with Vickey for Four Straight Days !

Business as usual in regards to Special Olympics Basketball πŸ€ practice today between 2 and 4. Brett Petty is showing zero signs of slowing down after his effort in the Boo Ridge 5K Run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Stephanie is here today with one of her Pups 🐢, both competed yesterday in the 5K as well. Stormy the Pup 🐢

Love the fact that after three days (appox – 40 hours), Coach Vickey didn’t want to play the but I’m tired card. Not even a little..

Unofficial count on Hoopsters is 16!

Still to come – Trace Reavis, Pastor Stephen Puckett and two of the Harris Sisters created a new Olympic event called Sequencenized Cell Phones !
