 The Girls' Car on display

One of the many entertaining people we met

On Saturday, October 27. Mr. Reese, Mrs. Anita Ellison, Kristen Black, and Daniel Worthey made the journey to Canton, MS to show the girls' car at the Nissan Family Day. We spent the day talking to employees of Nissan and their family, eating great food, and enjoying the carnival rides. The day started out cold and windy, but by lunch time the sun came out and the rest of the day was enjoyable. We would like to thank Nissan for the generous invitation to take part in this fun event.
