Fwd: Thank You Teams

[RJ Shea]

Team,

Well done out there this weekend. I cant be more proud. We came, we
waded in mud, we sold more food than anyone, we conquered. Y'all are
great friends and competitors. Nick and Tyler stepped up. Conrad
didn't yell at anyone other than me (which is incredible in it's own
way). Abby, Christine, and Kelly hustled everyone, Ted laid down the
law with his Mac N Cheese. I believe the phrase "Life Changing" could
have been used. Wright bathed in mud and even used shampoo for the
world see. Colin went above and beyond. Any thoughts or suggestions,
please send them.

The thank you from Rene is below. Below is where we placed. The judges
weren't on our side this year.
47 Whole Hog
53 Shoulder
52 Ribs
19th Porkpourri

The beans, sauce and fund raising will be coming.

Rene & Becker,

Thank you guys for putting on the party of the year and for giving us
an opportunity to sell a ton, and i mean a ton of food and we sold out
by 4:00.

I would love to know how we placed in each catagory, including fund
raising and food sold.

Well done again,

RJ

[Ted Guillot]

Another year in the books, ladies and gents. Could not be more proud to be a part of the WHH Pit Krewe. Everyone stepped up and did their part to make the weekend a real success.

 

Thanks to all for being a part of the team. And an extra big thanks to those that worked yesterday to pick up our equipment and clean up everything.

 

An oven sounds like a great idea.

 

Also, if you have not yet seen it, Abby's BACORN got a shout out in nola.com's write up on the event.

GEAUX ABBY!

thank park for spending an unreal time pressure washing everything

Subject: RE: Thank You Teams

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank everyone for everything you and your teams did.  To see where this has come in such a short period of time is truly amazing.  I know what it is like to be down and need help.  Hogs came through for me and with your help we can do the same for a lot more families now.  I hope to see everyone in a few weeks for a team party and see all of you back in 2015.  Save the date march 27 & 28.

 

Thank You

[RJ Shea]

Subject: Re: Thank You Teams

Thank you to everyone for sticking to this after Porknado 2014.  There were many moments when I saw the demise of Hogs flashing before my eyes but your dedication throughout the chaos made this success possible.  We've already got many grants in the hopper so we will be active quickly! We hope to have a final number on money raised in upcoming days as money is still trickling in. Don't forget next year's dates are March 27 & 28 2015!  Has anyone checked the farmer's almanac yet?  We were due beautiful weather this year, so we must be due the Atacama Desert next year!!!

Thanks again,

Becker Hall

Team,

 

First, thanks for letting me join the team this year.  I had a blast.

Second, I am in charge of making sure that Ben gets paid for the extra wristbands.  Here's who I have down as having paid:

1. Tyler Marquette

2. Claire Marquette

3. Parker x1

4. Nick x2

5. Chris

 Colin is going to pay Ben directly.  Please let me know if you grabbed an extra wristband and need to pay. 

Thanks,

Tyler
