Yesterday ~ Today ~ Tomorrow One Day at a Time . . . is not a new saying, nor a new song ~ but is true either way. Each day brings another new adventure for us to calculate, disect, then plan, and finally follow through with the best plan we can possibly think of - at the moment anyway. I used the word “adventure” because the word “challenge” would be more in the meaning of overcoming. I choose to think of those challenges as new adventures and suggest you start doing the same. Why? You ask. Because it makes each of those One Days more fun, while giving your mind a great workout. Try it, I think you will experience a great new outlook on life just waiting to be your new adventure. So, here we are just a few short months away from WorldWide DownHome DrillFest™ 2023, without a moment to spare. We want this to be the very best, least costly, most fun, you have had in a very long time. The WWDR Team has chosen the right spot this year, not only is it in the middle of our great nation, but it allows breathing room in the FRESH AIR, allowing you the freedom to sit outside on the grass with your children, or at the table(s) inside with your current, as well as new best friends in their booths, or while enjoying the music from Alan and Brenda Morrison ~ All Night Soundz once again ~ you’ll surely enjoy making your stage debut while you bellow out your favorite KARAOKE “sing-along song” for the GRAND PRIZE. Who knows, there might just be a talent scout waiting to scoop you up! Or heck, just have a good old-fashioned time with the WWDR Team. Yes, of course we will have the best darned educational sessions - ones you won’t have seen or heard anywhere yet, where these great instructors will take time to answer your questions, during or after the session.
