To the Editor:

The Ole Smokehouse employees aka The Iceholes would like to thank all of the people that donated to this years polar plunge benefiting the Special Olympics.

This year we took a different approach and "flocked" 40 different families with a dozen pink flamingos as a way to raise money. Once flocked we asked for a donation in order to get them off their yard and in return the family got to pick where the flamingos flocked next.

We would like to thank the following flocking victims: Mike and Jeanne Butterfield, Al and Mary Haught, Tim and Cheryl Thisse, Kevin and Laurie Finnegan, Spencer Finnegan and Kim Keeley, Megan Finnegan and Matt Haught, Brooks and Emily Finnegan, Shawn and Mandy Losey, Larry and Andrea Losey, Ricky and Diane Burns, Dale and Tracy Champion, Bill Barkley, Joe and Debbie Finnegan, Northern Sharpening, Mike and Renee Burwell, Casey Donaldson and Kay Zimmer, Steve and Christina Adams, Bryan and Shannon Kenny, Ron and June O'Neil, Alex Smith, Dave and Patti Fisher, Mapleview Dairy, Anna Campbell, Burt and Betty Beswick, Arnold Day, Robbie Pryce, Bernie and Amy Moulton, Mark and Marsha Watson, Stacy Bracy, Bruce and Danielle Durant, Steve Rookey and Lisa Arquitt, Jena Cryderman, Mike Ruddy, Donnie and Brenda McCall, Larry Lamere, Mark and Laurie Murphy, Tina and Brian Bush, Chris and Jen Flint.

We would also like to thank all the customers and other donations we received. We are happy to announce that Team Iceholes raised $3,520 towards the Special Olympics.
