Our 2015 Appreciation Cookout Was A Success!
WOW! Perfect weather, great fellowship, delicious food, and awesome music sums it all up during the BTW68 Appreciation Cookout on Saturday. Friends and family came from far and near to fellowship with us at Barraud Park. It was just like an old fashion reunion.
There were friends who had not seen one another in over thirty years and children who enjoyed a good old fashion game of UNO.
The BTW68 Alumni Class would like to thank each and everyone who came out to support us at our Appreciation Cookout. It is always great when we get together and reminisce about the good old times.
Here are some photos:
