This past weekend my friend Danielle and I put on the first ever Bull Fest, in honor of our good friend Capt. Brandon "Bull" Barrett, who was KIA on 5.5.2010. We were raising money for his Naval Academy Foundation Scholarship. The event was a HUGE success (besides Aaron being stuck in Yuma, Az for work) but other than that it was great! We raised over $3500! We hosted the event at Bull's favorite bar, The Brass Pelican. We sold hotdogs, hamburgers and pulled pork plates, as well as, coozies and T-shirts! You know you had a good turnout when everything sells out! It was a great way to remember such an awesome person and true hero! I was lucky enough to have known such a great guy! There were friends of his from combat, from school, friends of friends and people who just came to celebrate!
Hopefully we will be able to continue Bull Fest for many years to come!
Bull we missed you, but we know you were watching over us :) Thanks for holding off the rain! You truly were an amazing friend and that was very evident by the amount of people who came to celebrate your life from near and far! Did I mention there was also a Bull fest in California and Indiana ? Yeah he was that great!
Our Hero!
