The Great Outdoors

The benefit for little Tristen Thompson was a nice success. We help raise some money to offset the costs of Tristen’s medications and managed to have a great time doing it. Tristen suffers from Von Willebrand Disease, a rare and dangerous blood disorder. Some of his medications run $700.00 plus for just a small amount. It was nice to see a community come together to raise some money to help pay for some of the medical bills. As you know, in this day and age, those can be a mind boggling burden. Thanks to all who gave of their time and money to help out.

Just The Guys started things off about 8:15 and played some good ol’ country for the enthusiastic crowd. The Great Outdoors followed with the help of Terry Mackner (vocals and accoustic guitar) & Bryan Aamold (steel guitar) from Silverado. The rest of the evening was pretty much a jam session with all the local musicians pitching in.

Barbecue, chips, and deserts were provided for the people in attendance. If you were hungry, it was your own fault.
Some of the silent auction items included Patriots and Giants Championship T’s and BOB 95 FM T’s. Other items included frames, wall hangings, and other nick nacks. The auction went well, raising a good bit of money for Tristen.

All in all, the night went pretty good.

Tristen Thompson has a fund raising account at Wells Fargo Bank. You can make donations at any Wells Fargo for Tristen. Carol, his mother, could definitely use some medical bill relief. Even if you couldn’t make the benefit, you can still donate.
