Busy At Carl’s Corner Texas

Hi folks! Well, I have been busy helping fill goodie bags. There were about six of us filling these bags to give out tomorrow. I have met a lot of nice people. Some are cancer survivors, and some are here to show support for for the convoy. At this point there are somewhere around fifty entries with a possible fifty more comming this is about all I have to report at this time.
So till next time, be safe.
Dick
