‘Twas the Day before Boo Ridge and all through the House 🏠, nine people were saying – ” West Long is the Man 👨”…Welcome 🙏 to Friday, October 10th

Welcome to Fall Break
Coach Mayo and his Motovational Nugget of the Day
Travis Osborne with today’s Bible verse

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

On a personal note 📝, every morning when I wake ⏰ up, I am thankful for three things – #1 God has Blessed me with another Day – #2, Howard Mayo sends me a Motovational Nugget (Weekdays) and #3, Travis Osborne sends me a Bible Verse.

The mission I’m on is to give people hope by showing them kindness and grace. It can be lonely at times, trying hard to Captain the Good Ship 🚢 Lollipop 🍭 but less so when you have two impressive Men trying to support your efforts !

Morning Brew

In regards to West Long and why we have extra Love for him this week. There were nine of us out in the woods yesterday afternoon and at 9am we will kickoff Day #2 (9am-6pm).

Then on Saturday, after the event, the 1,000+ things we prop up in the woods along the trail 👣 has to be picked back up and placed in their tubs. West Long goes from mild mannered Wrestling Coach to this :

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌 !

Stay out of the Woods behind Hillsville Elementary School 🏫 because they are haunted and then some! Preparing the course for Saturday morning 🌄 as Boo Ridge 5K weekend has officially started.

Vickey Ritchie likes Halloween 🎃. The audience shouts back, ” How 🤔 much does she like it ?: The answer fills up a Box Truck 🚚!!

  While the event doesn’t officially start until 7:30 am on Saturday, the preparation begins as soon as the Elementary School closed on Thursday afternoon.

Four hours are blocked 🚫 off on Thursday (2-6 pm) and a full nine hours on Friday from 9am until 6pm. This much time is needed to strategicly place Spooky things throughout the 3.2 mile Trek.

Vickey is considering what life would be like if all of her tubs were full of truly haunted items. Each item would jump out of its container in a timely fashion and run out to the correct place on the course!!!!!

Until then, Vickey and her troop of volunteers 🙋‍♀️ will keep up the good fight and welcome others to join in the pre-fun!

Saturday Fun x 3 is awaiting us on the Calender as Howard Mayo, Vickey Ritchie and Cindy Edwards have plans with a strong 💪influence from the Queen 👸 of Bingo !

October 4th – Girls Basketball 🏀 Bingo night 🌙 in the School cafeteria !

October 11th – Boo Ridge 5K and Fun Runs 🏃‍♂️ hosted by the Special Olympics.

October 18th – Carroll County Volleyball 🏐 will host their annual Bingo night at the High School 🏫..
