When my Uncle Andy was killed two years ago we set up a scholarship fund for a high school senior at Lehighton High School that was going to further his/her education. For the 2nd year in a row we have had a golf outing to support the scholarship fund. This year's outing was this past Saturday. I handle planning the event and the family helps getting sponsors and donations. We had 116 golfers this year. This year's tournament was a morning tournament with the start at 8 a.m. Registration began at 7 a.m. So I was up at 5 a.m. to start getting ready. Mom and I were at the country club by 6 a.m. to start setting up registration and everything. Registration went smooth and we got the golfers started. If you looked up the valley it looked like it was going to rain, dark clouds were everywhere. For quite some time the dark clouds followed the mountains and passed us. Up until about 11ish. Then it poured. And I mean poured. All the golfers came in the cart barn and were there for about an hour or so. After the rain stopped we got them back out on the course and they finished golfing. After they were done golfing we had a lunch/early dinner pig roast at the farm. We rented a big tent and table and chairs and had everything there. There was soooo much food. You name it we had it, even PIG!!!! Once the golfers were done eating we did door prizes, awards, and had a live auction. After we were done with everything for the outing we just hung out with some friends of the family under the tent. All in all it was a great tournament, could've done without the rain but we think Pappy, Andy, and Jack were jealous they couldn't golf this year.
Thanks to everyone who sponsored, donated something, volunteered their time, golfed, and anything else you might have done to support this great event. Until next year...
