Hometown Hero Event

Wednesday we spend half of the day at the Ford Theatre downtown Conway for an HP wide volunteer event.  We started off with a cajun crawfish boil.  I figured I would be safe with corn and potatoes....little did I know these were cooked in cajun spices as well.  My lips might have left the building and I may or may not have been trying to hide back tears.  The crawfish "mud bugs" were a different story. These people eat them like M and M's down here.  

The hot dog was good and margarita mix was good.


The rest of the afternoon we broke out into teams and assembled a total of 50 bikes that are going to be given to Soaring Wings Ranch here in Conway as well as to families with members in the military.  Soaring Wings Ranch is a place where kids with no families, or broken homes, get a chance at having a safe place to live and grow up. It is a Christian based environment and a lot of HP people donate their time and money there.
