Tonight I got to sit back, soak it all in, and truly appreciate Scott Blasey — his voice, his talent, and an absolutely incredible show. He was amazing.

Thank you to everyone who came out in the cold weather to support our local firefighters at Highland Hose. Because of all of you, I’m proud to share that we raised over $4,000 for them! I truly hope this helps in a meaningful way — they more than deserve it.

I was also deeply honored to be named an honorary member of Highland Hose and to receive a plaque from them. That moment meant more to me than I can put into words. I know my grandpappy would be so proud looking down.

What a night. Grateful, humbled, and full of heart. ❤️🚒
