The Party's Over

Friday was the final day of the Safari Rally and we were sorry to see it end. We had a great time and met many new friends.

The closing ceremonies were held after Friday night's dinner, starting with a drawing for a 50/50 cash raffle. They actually had one of these every night. We bought tickets every night and came away empty handed every night. I didn't expect the final night to be any different. So imagine my surprise when they called one of our ticket numbers for a $50 prize!! The night was looking up.

After the usual acknowledgements and thank yous to sponsors and volunteers, it was time to announce the winners of the golf events. For the main tournament, Tom's team came in second place, earning each person on the team a $10 prize. Then the mini scramble results. And Tom's team was tied for first! Earning him another $4.

What a night. We walked out with an extra $64 which paid for our 50/50 raffle tickets for previous evenings as well as Tom's golf tournament fees. Tom says he's ready now for the PGA tour.
