The Redskins at Patty Pollatos Event

If you didn’t stop by to see the event…You missed out on meeting some of your past favorites from the Washington Redskins. The all day event had plenty to do for everyone. You had BINGO, Pony rides, games, face painting and more. On top of all the events and FREE FOOD there were tons of prizes You need to mark your calendars for next year’s event. OCTOBER 4th, 2008 at the Frederick County Fair Grounds.

This was the 2nd annual event for the Patty Pollatos Fund. If you are not familiar with what the Patty Pollatos Fund is all about you can read about it here. For the most part it is a 100% non-profit organization that gives it all back to the community. Debbie Williams leads up this organization and has helped multiple families in the area coping with the financial burden of medical cost. She is a dear friend that leads with her heart. Please contact her if you want to donate money or your time…both are always welcome. The FUNomenon was pulling raffle tickets every 6 minutes. The first prize was $50,000 (would have been $100,000 if there were more tickets sold.) We need your participation.

Anyways, back to this years event… Bands played all day long on stage. You can check out videos on Frederick.com right here. After that we were energized by the excitement of the J-Bar W Ranch Rodeo. Some of our area’s cowboys mounted some of the wildest bulls in the east. If you haven’t heard of Wild Cow Milking, you need to stop out J Bar W Ranch to see one of the craziest milking contest ever. The rodeo was finished off with some Mutton Bustin’ That’s where future Bull Riders mount sheep and hold on for dear life. To finish up the evening, we were graced by the presence of former Washington Redskins; Pat Fischer, Mark Moseley, Charles Mann, Art Monk and Joe Theismann. They finished up the days event with a ad-lib comedy act. They entertained us with stories about life in the locker rooms and the antics of the players. They stayed all evening until everyone in line had an autograph from each of them.
