Rusty greets Sheriff John Whetsel and his wife as they arrive. Jimmy Houston 'encourages' Rustys' grandson Blake to kiss a catfish, as cousin Amanda and Grandmother Paula look on. After a quick lunch, the kids rush to get their poles and soon the the pond is covered with the sound of kids fishing. Meanwhile, the silent auction went on, with people bidding on boats, fishing gear, items autographed by Shannon Miller, Kim Zmeskal, Steve and Tinker Owens and other memorabilia. As the day winds down and the kids reluctantly leave the pond, the birds sing, frogs croak and fish leap across the surface of the water, as if, they too, are saying farewell.
Kids line up to receive their 'goody bags' as they leave at the end of the day.
More bags get filled as demand outpaces supply. We Care Ranch, now under construction.
