Mom and Dad (Judy and Gary) Aunty Cindy, Mark and Kristine for keeping everyone “fed and watered” and keeping the yard clean. Jason for all his hard work in the arena, and everyone that helped him, Brendan, Tyler, Danny, Tyson.

One more thing, to the Ouellette family, Uncle Danny and aunty Cindy for helping us take everything down and putting it all away, you have no idea how grateful we are that you helped us do that this evening.
