The Myron Family BBQ Benefit & Carnival

It was the perfect day. The sun was shining and Mt. Rainier was clearly visible from Eventco field in Fife. Friends and family from all over the Puget Sound gathered to show solidarity and support for Sara Myron and her family. Generous attendees gladly handed over their hard earned money in order to help ease the financial burden of this family facing unimaginable heartbreak. From pony rides to bungee jumping, The Myron Family BBQ Benefit & Carnival was a complete success with the sounds of children laughing and the smells of delicious food floating in the air. Sara made her first public address to the media from a small stage in the middle of the field. She took the time to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and identified the effort as the “language of God.” Later, that same stage was manned by The Boys of Greenwood Glen and Otis and The Raw Dawgz. The unmistakable energy of live music fueled the 5 hour gathering. Black Tie Espresso was onsite serving up everything from Italian sodas to delicious coffee concoctions while a group of audio visual professionals handled the entertainment. Representatives from the local ABC and NACE chapters greeted attendees and provided quick tours of the carnival grounds. The beer and wine garden was a popular destination for those over the age of 21 and Stan Osborn of STANSCAPES created a beautiful replica of a picture of Sara’s parents (Monty and Sue) on the field.
Hundreds of smiles, a few tears and a lot of love.
