According to the 3Day site, here's what a Cheering Station is:
"Cheering Stations are a great way to show your support along the route to encourage walkers and let them know that you are with them every step of the way. Seeing familiar faces cheering them on can provide that extra burst of energy that gets them to take that next step or go the next mile. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and make some noise - anything to make them smile, get energized and keep walking. "
My tips - bring a chair and/or cooler for comfy cheering! Also, give me a call the day you're coming and I'll give you a time range of when I should arrive at each Cheering Station...it will definitely NOT be early as I'm a slow walker! ;-)

Only place a guy wearing a Pink boa isn't weird, it's MOTIVATING!
Gotta LOVE seeing Kids involved in Cheering Stations, or charity work of any kind!
Wish I knew what those Christmas Tree signs said. Imagine how long it took them to make!
Mom, cooling us off in the heat....I think she got a blister on her "shooting" finger from all her hard work making the walkers happy!
The Flamingo Trainers (aka Mom & Dad) in action! Like how they're wearing Pink?!

I need to go get three new pink shirts! Will be there with my trigger finger ready to shoot as well as some cool treats.
Love,
Mom
Yay! I need to work on my schedule and see if I can get myself to one or both of the cheering stations on Saturday and will definitely be at the closing ceremony on Sunday!
