On Tuesday afternoon Weaver Ridge hosted the annual Easter Seals Golf Classic. Steve Thompson and all the GREAT people at Easter Seals along with Matt Weaver and his staff made it a fantastic day. Although is was extremely hot and humid over 130 golfers took part in one of the premier events of the summer. Outgoing Easter Seals Chairman of the Board Mark Scott had a very special guest for the event 4 year old Jocelyn McDaniels and her dad Bill. Jocelyn was a real trooper as she visited with the golfers on the course and joined them for dinner and the award ceremonies.
