Mens Weekend Retreat

Twenty eight men from every possible walk of life spent last weekend at Big Canyon being challenged and encouraged in their walk with Christ. In addition to some powerful life-changing content, a lot of fun was had throwing tomahawks, shooting rifles and shotguns, slinging the football, playing "winter golf", and just being guys at casino night.

One of our guests for the opening meal.  He must have known elk chili was on the menu.  Next year it might be moose chili (just kidding...come on!)

Moving Along

We continue to make progress on the Yurt - aka "Silver Spur Cafe".  Brian has had many helpers - his daughters included.  Scott helped with the staining. Joe got the radiant heat working.  Dale and Dick came up and got a great start on the drywall.
