As many of you know, there was an unfortunate accident on Saturday evening during the effigy burn which resulted in injuries to one of our Fire Response Team members, Cleopatra/Samantha. All details are not yet available, but the understanding is there was malfunction of one of the pyrotechnic devices.  Cleopatra/Samantha is back home in North Carolina recovering from her injuries and is expected to make a full recovery over the next few months.  Our thoughts are with her and her family. 

A Go Fund Me Page has been set up to help Cleopatra/Samantha with her out of pocket expenses associated with her injuries. If you feel inclined, you can donate here.
