As we wrap up another amazing Smoke in the Mountains event , I’ve been thinking about our board and everything that happens behind the scenes.
To say thank you doesn’t seem like enough.
This group of volunteers gives countless hours throughout the year planning, organizing, fundraising, solving problems, making decisions, and doing whatever needs to be done to make this event successful. Most people only see the “weekend of the event”, but they don’t see the months of work, late-night texts/calls, meetings, and dedication that happen long before the first BBQ team arrives.
I am incredibly grateful for each board member and the heart they bring to this organization. Thank you for believing in our mission, supporting our community, and working so hard to make Smoke in the Mountains something Fort Davis can be proud of.
This event isn’t built by one person—it is built by a team that loves this community and is willing to roll up their sleeves and get the job done.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your friendship, your commitment, and your countless hours of service. I am honored to serve alongside each of you.
