NOTE: Brent Leo Smith and Bryan Joubert have an exciting Drive planned for August 28th

It is designated Killer Bee day 

We will be looking for all animals, insects and birds that start with the letter B

It is also National Bow Tie Day so both Brent and Bryan will be wearing Bow Ties.

Should be a very fun drive.
