This was the Great Lakes Convoy, for the Awareness, Prevention, and Cure of Women's Cancers. It took place yesterday at the Petro in Perrysburg, OH.
Thanks to everyone that came out. I have no idea how much money was raised, but I know a bunch of you won some great prizes. (I will let you know when they tell me the total.)
I would like to thank John Elliot for the use of his grill and for coming out. It was good to see John and Shelly, with CIS. The companies represented were 1st Express, Home - 1st Express Inc., with 3 trucks, Bolt Express, also with 3, Load 1 and Tri-State, with 2 a piece, Suzette Express, Diamond Delivery, Craig Transportation, Craig Transportation Co. - Trucking Jobs Available, and Keller, Keller Trucking: Transportation, Warehousing, Distribution, Local Cartage - Serving all Chicagoland, Greater Milwaukee and Northwest Indiana.
Thank you, thank you, for all of the support we got. We will be doing this again next year. Those of you who pre-registered and then were offered a load that was too good to pass up. . .we look forward to seeing you next year.
Thanks, everyone.
As for participating late, I just happen to have a link
Donate.

I didn't take a single picture. I was too busy talking. Michelle Dunn, my partner in crime, was not feeling well, so everyone had to put up with my sense of humor.
But, lots of pictures were taken and I will get them here as soon as I can. Jenny took quite a few and said she would be putting them on her Facebook page. For those of us that don't Facebook, I hope she posts them here, too.
I forgot to mention in my earlier post that Moose got there in time for lunch. hmmm
Aannnd, I need to send a shout out to all of the Bolt Express office staff and dispatchers who volunteered their Saturday, to make things run smoothly. Also, Jerry and David Bunzey brought their cooking set up and got us all fed.
(This is what happened yesterday, I just don't shut up.
)

Glad we could accommodate you.
For those who didn't make it, Cat Scale/Iowa 80 Group helped us ''Weigh in for Prevention''. We all stood on the scale at the same time and got our total weight. Then all who wanted to participate made a donation (whatever they wanted) and wrote down their guess. The prizes were $50, $30, and $20, in gift cards from Iowa 80. Flag Waver was the top winner and generously turned his prize back in for us to use as a raffle item next year.
