2013 Grand Weekend
The 2013 Grand Weekends activities included an aerial hog hunt, our first ever night bow-fishing and golf tournament and auction. We were proud to host 17 wounded warriors from across the country for this weekend of fun.
The weekend began Thursday night as the warriors and guests arrived at the Marriott Champion Circle. They were greeted by the fine hotel staff headed up by HALOs friend Jim Campbell, HALO staff, and volunteers. The evening was a time for fellowship and relaxation. The next day began early as the team travelled to Hamilton Texas to begin the main event. It looked as though the hunt might be canceled due to weather, not allowing the helicopters to fly. But prayers and the goodwill of the people of Hamilton somehow allowed the day to be a success. The Warriors enjoyed harvesting the destructive hogs from the aerial platforms, mingling with the people of Hamilton, and sitting down for a fabulous fish fry. The Rain came down as the fish fry beganDuring the fish fry, the warriors and distinguished guests were introduced and beautiful plaques were presented to the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce and to the fine citizens and ranchers of Hamilton. The day was concluded with a night of bow-fishing hosted by the Ful Enjoy the Event with us by looking at the picture and video links on the right, and the links to the fantastic media coverage we received on the left.
