Please keep Big Ed Everhart in your thoughts and prayers today.

Our longtime BAM emcee and friend had to undergo stomach surgery last night. From what I understand, it is not believed to be anything too serious, but any surgery comes with risks and challenges.

Big Ed has been a big part of the BAM family, bringing energy, enthusiasm, and a smile to our events for years. We’re all pulling for him and hoping everything went smoothly.

Join us in wishing Ed a speedy recovery and a quick return to the BAM stage.

Get well soon, Big Ed. The BAM family is here for you.
