Homeschool Day 2013

I've always heard the saying, "Better late than never".  I certainly hope that holds true today.  It has been nearly a month since we signed off on Homeschool Day 2013 and FINALLY this blog and its readers are getting to hear about the wonderful event!

To begin with, the weather was amazing!  We were thrilled with a forecast that for the first time in years featured these wonderful words, "Chance of Precipitation, 0%"!  Indeed cause for celebration.  Temps warmed into the 50's by late morning and nary a cloud marred the beautiful blue skies.

Over 400 people visited the Battlefield that day.  Excellent numbers for a late March Saturday.  Here's what one attendee had to say, http://mountainofgracehomeschooling.blogspot.com/2013/04/virginia-museum-of-civil-war-fieldtrip.html

Over 40 volunteers pitched in to make this day possible.  Hearty and heartfelt thanks go out to each and every one who contributed to the event.  That goes for our wonderful sponsors as well.  Any report on the event wouldn't be complete without thanking Lauren and the great team at Chick-fil-A of Harrisonburg, Jimmy and his team at Wendy's, our local Wal-Mart stores, and WPER Positive Hits.  Each of these folks and businesses shared their own special offerings to make Homeschool Day 2013 a rousing success.  We can't say it loud enough or often enough, THANK YOU!!!

Toward the end of the day, we were glad to welcome Micah Fleet of the Rockbridge Report.  He did a great piece on the event that you can view here http://rockbridgereport.washingtonandlee.net/?p=8373.

I hope you enjoy this peek into Homeschool Day 2013.  Our brains are already tossing around ideas for Homeschool Day 2014!  Hope to see you there!
