LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
We want to thank you for publishing our article about the celebration of our 60 years of marriage. We had such a perfect day visiting with friends and family at the beautiful Enders Hotel. Tara and her staff were exceptionally helpful and delightful. Caleb, Oakley, and Holly had wonderful ideas and provided everything we needed with happy smiles. Tara has done an outstanding job of curating the old and new to make every room unique. We are glad to see the opportunities for gatherings that The Enders Hotel offers our community! We can't sufficiently thank those that helped make our day happen. Stacey and Joseph Meldrum helped with the slideshows, photos, and all correspondence. Stacey even made us a guest book with pictures of friends through the years. Todd and Becky acquired the soft cone ice cream machine that was so tasty and popular and made the chicken salad croissants, and popcorn for the popcorn bar! Becky also delivered the cakes from Pocatello. Good friends, Tami Christman and Lynda Lee, helped with all the extras that needed done in the kitchen. Tami and Granddaughter McKenna baked lots of delicious cookies. The slush was very popular and if someone requested the recipe that I have forgotten please reach out for a copy. Lastly, Mindy gifted us with the beautiful "grazing table" of fruits and nuts. She arranged it beautifully with her amazing talent.
Sam and Monica Barnes made the wonderful signs announcing the party, Jason Ashley did the beautiful signage on the rails Todd built for our 1930 Model A that we used in the 4th of July Parade. Didn't Soda have a wonderful turnout for all the festivities? We threw 900 rubber ducks and wished we had that many more to share. What a fun day. We feel so blessed to live in this community. We hope our friends know how much their friendship through the years has meant to us. They have made our lives full and richer. Thanks for your kindness and good examples all these years.
We love you all. With warm regards, Donna and Bryant Smith
