Tee it up!!!!!!!!

Labor Day Monday morning St. Louis greetings to one and all!!!!!!

For all my friends here in the USA, I hope that you’re having a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!!

This past Monday I was out shooting photos for the 2013 “Tee it up for the troops” charity event in Peoria. This was the fifth year that the event has been in Peoria and in those five years, the Peoria area has raised over one million dollars for this great charity!!! We have so many great charities here in Central Illinois and it always amazes me just how generous this area is to all of these organizations! For a smaller town like Peoria, we do pretty darn good!

For those that haven’t been to this event, it’s now held at two local golf courses, the Country Club of Peoria and also Mt. Hawley Country Club. At both courses in the morning they have about 240 veterans at each course that play golf and then have a great lunch and dinner as well (no charge for any of that for the Veterans)! In the afternoon, all the golfers are paying to play and help support the charity. At lunch time at both courses they have ceremonies that honor the veterans and also the active duty military that have and do keep us safe and free! As everyone is playing golf, there is lot of fun and laughs (and a occasional swear word for a bad shot), but when the ceremony is happening and then the trumpeter plays Taps, you realize why we are all there and what the event is all about!!!!

Here’s a couple of my snaps from this years Tee it up event!!!!

Thanks as always for checking out my work and I hope that the rest of your Labor Day weekend is a safe and fun one!!!!!

Tuesday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!!

For my friends here in the US, I hope that you have a safe and wonderful Labor Day Weekend! It’s going to be very nice to have a short work week!

This past week I was out shooting for the second year in a row at the Tee it up for the Troops charity event at Mt. Hawley country club here in Peoria. It’s an great event that has raised a bunch money nationally and locally here in Peoria as well! In the morning round of golf, all the golfers are current or retired military and Mt. Hawley and Peoria Country Club provide free golf to all participants. It’s a very nice event and I think that everyone has a great time!!!!

Here are a few of my snaps from the day to check out!

I hope that you have a fantastic week and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!!
