It was a wonderful weekend, filled with enjoyable events.
If you know me, you'll understand that while I'm not comfortable with public speaking, I do have much to share. Therefore, I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge Bob Gonczy . As many of you are aware, he played a vital role in saving my life, and I am deeply grateful for his presence in my life, both then and always. He is an exceptional individual, a dedicated teacher, a true patriot, and a lifesaver. I have learned immensely from him, more than I could ever express. I truly miss his guidance and his passion for our community. The street dedication was a well-deserved honor, and he deserves even more recognition.
Bob was also instrumental in the development of Chris LaCosse Park. His enthusiasm was truly inspiring. While I didn't have the privilege of knowing Chris, I understand and appreciate the love and respect she deserves.
I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Dustin Gary for his tireless behind-the-scenes efforts. He contributes significantly to our town, and I deeply appreciate his dedication.
Finally, I want to thank everyone who participated in this weekend's events. Your involvement was essential to its success. Thank you for a wonderful year, and I look forward to seeing you all in 2026!
Love, Nikki Kimbrell
