Go Buckeye’s!!!!

Brandon and I had the opportunity to attend the Ohio State vs. Ohio football game last weekend!  What we didn’t realize to begin with is that the Marching Band has a Skull Session 1 1/2 hours before the game.  The Skull Session is a concert/pep rally with more than 10,000 fans attending before the game.  It is not unusual for dedicated fans to arrive up to two hours before the band.  Of course we HAD to be at that.  Especially since I am, what Brandon likes to call me, a band nerd.  I was completely amazed at how many showed up for the Skull Session!  The gymnasium was packed full as you can see below!

Ohio State has a 192 member, all brass Marching Band!  They are also known as “The Pride of the Buckeyes'!”  Their drum line is huge!  12 Snares, 4 Basses, 4 cymbals, and 4 quads!

We enjoyed the football game too!  By half-time we knew Ohio State was going to win!  They slaughtered Ohio.  I made sure to take my camera and take lots of pictures to show you’s but unfortunately if you are a football fan I only have a few pictures that actually have football players in them! :)  So, for all you football fans, here are the few pictures of the football teams.

There’s a New Name Written Down in Glory

Since our last update we had one family join Calais Church and last Sunday one of our little ones came forward to share with the congregation that she asked Jesus to come into her heart!  AMEN!!!

We are continuing to reach out to the community, working on our Fall Festival on Oct. 23, Christmas Cantata and working on next years calendar of events!  Busy, busy, busy!

We enjoyed the Summerfield Fireman’s Festival last weekend with a parade, chicken dinners and an auction!  Of course we got involved in the action.  Brandon now has the task of mounting my 2 foot tall blue star on the side of the house! 

The weather has been absolutely beautiful!  We can’t wait until the leaves start changing and fall sets in!  Also looking forward to some family visiting to see the Fall Colors around here!
