Memorial Day Wrap-Up
With the weather cooperating, we had an amazing turnout yesterday for our 2nd annual “Murph” and post-workout festivities — which this year featured a 77-lb. pig roast! We are grateful to every member of our community that came out and participated in the workout, contributed a side dish to our potluck, or just cheered and provided support to others. We had a number of family members, including kids & teens, participate in the workout as well, which was just awesome to see.
It truly takes a village, and none of this would have happened without the support and help from our own awesome community of members. Special thank-yous go out to:
- Kira Antell and Blayde Woodrum for getting to the gym before 4:00am to get the pig roast started, and to Kira and Paul Engelhardt for all the pre-roast prep work (and clean-up!) that was involved
- Kim Barcas for providing the pig roasting box
- Coach John G. for providing the truck and transportation in acquiring the roasting box
- Cristin Fair for providing the tent and chairs that housed the pig and allowed our pig-roasters to be comfortable in case of rain
- Kristin Maki for making the other food & beverage tables look awesome and organized
