THANK YOU: There are so many wonderfully dedicated and proud volunteers that bring FestiVELO to life.
The first ones you will likely meet are Susie & Bubber Robertson. Susie has been enduring registration since we were on John’s Island. Bubber helps in all areas.
Clyde and Jane Terrell will be close by. They also support many areas, but the most noted is they took all the pictures last year.
Roger Wolsey is already arrived from Hendersonville, NC and is putting up signs, and setting up.
Awesome Alice will not make it this year. We will miss her rest stop treats. We pray for her speedy return to full health soon.
Cindy and Jeff Gaver from Black Mountain have been key leaders and helpers for years.
Chuck and Jennie Connor from Sherrill’s Ford do so much. They have been part of the team for so long that they think and see needs before they come up.
Ginny Prevost will be supporting the McClellanville rest stop for the second year.
Sister Diane is ably in charge of rest stops with a team of reliable volunteers.
George Southern has taken care of the web site and helped in many computer areas for two years.
Son Daniel and Libby and Cheese and other close partners of Daniel and Libby take care of the later night snacks at the grill, movie, and oyster areas.
Jason Usry enters all the mail in forms, organizes the data and takes care of the registration information.
Bessie will process all the credit card payments and is at my side, for more years that she looks.
Magic Matthews will be Santa on Saturday, will be SAG on Thursday, and will be boiling of peanuts most days.
Matthews, Jason, Bessie, Daniel and I all work together in our “real jobs”
There are so many in the Charleston and Summerville area that offer so much time. FestiVELO could not exist without the hours and hours that John and Donna Pardee give to marking routes, making cue sheets, running SAG, baking treats and so much more. They do more than anyone else, and that is saying a lot, because there are those that have a deep passion for FestiVELO.
A special thanks to Missee Fox for leading the Chocolate Obsession Garden and allowing me so much focus on this event.
Our parents Joan and Maurice Fox will host us Saturday night at Dockside; a true Southern couple; great parents, wonderful grandparents and when we worked together, terrific boss!
(Editor's Note: And a SPECIAL THANKS to
Mr. FestiVELO, a.k.a. SANTA, a.k.a. CHARLES FOX,
who makes it all happen!)
