Bonfire Final Count

[ShawnP]

Good morning! I know that many of have  been waiting on this this final count. Are you ready?

I looked up our highest number for any bonfire and it was 2,364,418. We did 137,828 over!!! If you take about the average price of cigarettes at the rate of $6.50 a pack, we saved ourselves as a community, $16,264,599! The cigarette companies DID NOT make money from us and neither did Uncle Sam!!! We can't forget Drs., hospitals and insurance companies either. We have an awesome community here and i am happy to stand beside you on this journey.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for contributing to this community event that we have a few times a year. I would also like to say that this this bonfire was my last to host. I will miss doing it but,  I have been doing it for years now and it's time for me to step down. There are many of you out here that would make great hosts/hostesses and I am looking forward to attending yours.

Love to all of you!!
