STR 8 UP open house

The grand opening of STR8 UP youth house was a huge success. There were literally tons of people there. The weather was not so nice and we had the program portion of the evening in the youth house. Dinner was cooked by Don and he got soaked doing it. We had some tents set up for people to go under to eat, but the inside of the building was always full of people.

The kids were playing in the rain. The boys were playing football in the mud and the girls were sitting here watching them.
