Joplin Pep Rally, October 4, 2011


“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” kicked off its Joplin build efforts with a pep rally that started at 5 p.m. Oct. 4 at Calvary Baptist Church, 600 E. 50th St. in Joplin.
The event started with fun and entertainment, that was followed by a program at 6:30 p.m. led by lead builder Sam Clifton and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” executives. The pep rally featured local performers and dignitaries, and the Area Firefighters Christmas for Kids Project hosted a toy drive. Participants were encouraged to bring a new toy donation.

I was late to this event, but was so excited to finally arrive.  They introduced the design team, the builders, etc.  I had been shooting pictures for myself when someone came up and chatted with me.  At the end of the conversation this person had asked if I would be interested in helping take pictures the week of the build.  I said, "YES!"  It was a prayer answered because It was one of the things I had signed up to do. So, I am happy to share with you some of the photos I took that week...Thank you Sam and Michelle Clifton of Millstone Custom Homes for the opportunity to be one of the behind-the-scenes photographers!
