In other NEWS:
NW Wed Pro member East Fork Country Estate is
reaching out to other Wed Pros to help them provide a complete wedding for a
family that lost their home to fire last week while they were at the hospital
having a baby. The home can be seen from
East Fork Country Estate. The couple
is engaged but has not been able to afford a wedding and now they and their
three children have lost EVERYTHING.
Burns & Olson Realtors are collecting donations, food,
furniture and clothing for the family.
East Fork Country
Estate has offered a complete wedding to the couple at their beautiful
venue. Within a couple hours of posting the announcement on the NW Wed Pro Facebook page,
vendor offers poured in. Until the wedding date is determined, Diana Abernathy is compiling a list of
vendors that are willing to provide services for the wedding. So far we have received
offers from photographers, DJ’s, officiants, planners, cake, catering, even a
gown and veil. We will also be accepting
cash donations to help compensate for the food and materials. If you would like
to contribute in some way, please contact Diana Abernathy at Diana@eastforkcountryestate.com
. NW Wed Pro Association will be making a cash donation.
