Saturday, August 29, fifteen competitive 5-person teams met at the 4ERanch in Edinburg, Texas, to participate in this first annual fundraising event to benefit The Foundation at Mission Regional Medical Center. The weather was kind, by August standards for South Texas, and everyone was excited to meet 4-time Olympian Bret Erickson.
While we had intended for Bret to teach skills clinics to team members and sporting enthusiasts throughout the day, Bret provided one-on-one instruction to everyone who wanted it, as often as they wanted, ALL DAY LONG!
The three highest scoring teams were Team Johnny Carrillo, Team Sara's Pharmacy, and Team Harley-Davidson. Team Sara's Pharmacy also got to boast the highest scoring individual shooter!
At the end of the 'Annie Oakley' Shoot-out, the rain began; ending Hidalgo County's nine month drought and dousing the lovely decorations and tables set out for our celebratory dinner. No one seemed to mind, though. The evening was cool, Rudy's Bar-B-Q was delicious, the band was rockin' and the cobbler with Blue Bell ice cream really hit the spot.
We want to thank our generous sponsors: Rio Grande Valley Harley-Davidson, Spawglass Contractors, The City of Mission, and Shah Eye Center, for helping us stage a superb sporting event.
