" The trip was a once in a life time experience. I would have never believe one of my close friends could win one of those commercial prizes, but it happened. Little things like this bring more attention to our little growing community of Lake City. We went to North Carolina representing some of our best qualities. Thank you for recognizing our lil adventure!!! "
