Well, doggies! Trinity Junior High’s Buffalo Blast was a bona fide hoot as all of the elements lined up for a festive fundraiser. The food, drinks, décor and music were mighty pleasing, and the fact that the Razorbacks game was on televising a big victory over So. Carolina eased the crowd with pleasant spirits…or maybe that was the “White Lightning” being served?!
More than 200 guests decked out in their country casuals feasted on smoked brisket, chicken and chicken wings prepared by Trinity Dads Russ Bragg and John Hagen. Doggonit’ if it wasn’t finger lickin’ good, too! The sides were something to behold…freshly prepared hash brown potato casserole, smoked baked beans and creamy coleslaw. Hot apple cobbler and a Twinkie and Ding Dong layer cake crowned the dessert table…and yes, we actually saw people taking chunks of the Twinkie cake.
Jed Clampit and his band played toe tappin’ country and blues plus a few more…they were so good and we hope they come back for more! Thanks for all the help and support from parents, teachers and friends for making the night a fun success!
Dave and Shana Hughes set the tone for the evening!
