Hopefest

Hopefest....wow....we stayed for a few of the bands and to listen to Linda Smith, founder of Shared Hope International, click on the link to learn more or to contribute to this foundation that is helping save girls from being used and abused...not only in third world countries but also in the United States....and surprisingly...possibly...in your own state...or even in your own neighborhood. They are working to get legislation passed to punish the guys who use services of these young girls and more importantly to restore the girls who have been used.

Danica, Aaron and Randy pre concert

My new friends from Texas :) I guess he would be my uncle in law? not really....but sounds good....danica looks like she ate a stink bug in this picture :)

Cam with pre-performance jitters :) or silliness

mr cutforth...the organizer of this event

Aaron has sensory issues so he wears these noise blocking headphones...but you could feel the music in your body so wonder how he was doing with that? altho he did quite well even with the loud music

My son in law, Jason....don't tell him but he is a real sweetie :)

Cameron is so his father :)

he was so enjoying himself

Looks like a wonderful event to spread hope about a horrendous practice.
