The Juniors would also like to thank Don Metcalf Sr., Tonya Schunk, Nancy Lynch, Shanise Pegues, Chris Kampfer, Steve Frano, Jack Clark, Dean Culver, Tom Betjemann, Jamie Santo and Ralph Beaver, who helped us all day, and the Reverend Vanessa Winters, for blessing our full trailers. Also a shout-out to Hurricane Deli, who fed us all day.
We all should be very proud.
