House of Hope Hot Dog Fest!!

A combination of members from A&M CofC and Living Hope held a free hot dog dinner at the Lincoln Center House of Hope on Saturday. It was a blast! We probably had around 100 people from the community show up for hot dogs, sausage, watermelon and Blue Bell Ice Cream.
The House of Hope is a community outreach house located directly across the street from the Lincoln Center. It has been a vision of Dr. McCrady's for a really long time and it has finally come to fruition. A multitude of events take place at the house including; Bible study, WIC, GED classes, food bank food distribution and now hot dog dinners.
As you can tell from the pics, everyone was involved. While we were setting things up some kids from the neighborhood showed up and wanted to help. So they took the signs and stood out by the street yelling and waving at cars to get them to stop and eat. They were very successful. A lot of dogs, ice cream and watermelon were consumed.
At the end of the day we had a lot of lemonade left over so David and I had a little bit of Camp of the Hills type of fun. We told the two remaining kids - who are both going to COTH this year - that they could get 10,000 points by dunking their heads in the ice-cold lemonade. As you can tell from the videos below, they did it and it was awesome! Now all they have to do when they get to camp is remember to tell Mel that "Maddog" and "Reno" said to give them 10,000 points! :)

ENJOY!
Me, David and Doc McCrady.
