All of the scheduled events for July have come and gone and all is well.
I've already spoken of the great fireworks display but I wanted to say it again. I loved the show!
The Hamaker reunion went well. I think it was a bit smaller this year, but that only makes it easier to visit with everyone.
Kenny Miller and Friends Camping and Fun had a good turnout. We all got to see people we hadn't seen for a while and the music was beyond compare.
Kristy and Aaron's Wedding was wonderful. Kristy asked Alexandra to bring a flower up to represent my mother. Alex was so proud to have that honor and I want to thank Kristy for giving Alex the opportunity to be a part of something so special in her life.
The bride and groom were very fetching in their traditional outfits of wedding dress and tuxedo. And the children were all so amazingly adorable. The older girls are all at that age where a person can't tell if they are looking at a child one moment or a woman the next. It's hard to class them as cute or pretty because of that fact.
I have to say... brides are supposed to be pretty but Kristy has to be one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. This is no exaggeration and I'm not the only person who commented on her beauty. Several people came up to me and remarked on how pretty she was in that dress. What everyone was seeing was a happy woman who's inner beauty mingled perfectly with her outer splendor. I, as well as many others, were quite taken with her presence that evening.
The reception was held at The Barn after the wedding and I think everyone had a wonderful time. Kristy, Aaron and friends and family decorated everything spectacularly. Not only did I get comments about how beautiful the bride was I also got to hear all about how nicely they had the place decorated.
Lyn and Tim's reception turned out nicely as well. I did not work that day because Rick was working and I had the kids. I regret not making it down to see the bride and groom.
Congratulations to the two couples and may they have many, many happy years ahead of them!
Now we get to the rally part of the blog. We are all looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. We look forward to seeing all our friends but dread the end of summer.
People start asking us right about now if we are ready for the rally. I say there is no getting ready for the rally, you try to be prepared and then hope things work out.
It's our busiest time of the year. Not that we haven't had more people in The Barn at one time but because it lasts about ten days. When it's all said and done and we are reflecting back, there has not been one year that things didn't go exactly as we'd hoped.
If you need to contact us about the rally or any other event give us a call at 605-787-5458 or simply post to this blog and I'll get back with you right away.

After The 4th!
It's July 5th and we had a great 4th of July!
The crowd was down this year, but we had a lot of competition this year. This is to be expected when the 4th falls on a weekend.
The Piedmont Parade was good again this year. I've taken pictures of some of our customers that entered into the parade. My camera didn't focus too well on a couple of pictures so you might have to use your imagination a little.
This is Michele on her horse. It's not the best picture and I apologize for this. Her's was the first picture I took of the day, if that can be used as an excuse.
The above picture is to show the off the Fire Department and the crowd that gathered for the parade.
Now, I'll show off the couple of good pictures I got of the fireworks display.
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out to The Barn for the display. We hope everyone had a great time! We sure did!
The Hamaker Reunion has begun and we are hoping to see more of the family roll in today and tonight!

July
Hello once again from all of us here at The Barn!
We made it through June and all is well. Kathy's benefit was very nice and thank you to all who attended to help Kathy through this rough time.
Our golf tournament was fun again this year. Bill, Terry, Howdy and Peggy took first place. CONGRATULATIONS!
July is here and we have our plates full this month.
Birthdays for this month are:
8th Lee
15th Squeek
26th Charlie
30th Rick
Let me know who I'm missing! There HAS to be more.
Geoff and Sandy have made their way back to visit. We don't know how long they will be staying with us (hopefully through the 4th at least), but then we are going to try to ship them off to Tilford.
Events scheduled for July:
Friday, July 4th: Community Fireworks Show
Friday-Sunday, July 4th-6th: Hamaker Family Reunion
Friday-Sunday, July 11th-13th: Kenny Miller and Friends Camping and Fun
Saturday, July 12th: Kristy and Aaron Wedding Reception
Saturday, July 19th: Lyn and Tim Wedding Reception
If you'd like to book any dates with us give us a call at 605-787-5458.
Everything has been moving faster than hoped around here. There just aren't enough hours in the day, day's in the month, etc., to get done what needs to be done. Painting, mowing, cleaning up the yards and all kinds of other tasks have kept us all busy this summer. So busy that it's hard to believe the 4th of July celebration is just a day away.
The show is paid for by donations from the community and if you'd like to donate you can donate at the gate the day of the show.
Bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy the show! Please, no personal fireworks.
