The Rider-Writer Callie Warriors of Faith Choinumni

Warriors of Faith alongside with Time in Destiny church came out on a warm spring day in April, to support local community member Beli’ and his family during his wait for a new liver.

During a time of hospital stays, loss of work days (income), and hospital bills, this family was supported warmly and financially for a break of relief.

During this poker run, biker clubs, churches, and independent riders like myself went through Sanger, Kingsburg, Orange Cove, Choinumni and back to Sanger, all united for a worthy cause.

We were blessed to witness a miracle as well as we got news that Beli was being rushed to surgery for a waited call of a liver ready, during our prayer for the run. Riding is always a pleasure, a freedom in the wind one cannot capture in words but doing a ride for someone else is even sweeter as we raised money for a family in need, a family in our community, a person who needed help and God smiled as we were united to help our community instead of just a simple ride.

The Warriors have done this poker run for different families now for 3 years and we look forward to next years, as we know it will be a blessing.

Foundation, they had some stuff for free and some things for sell. This foundation was to help children who have lost their parents in the military, from war, to just accidents in a military flying plane and so much more. Every year they do a marathon with the children or anyone else who would like to join and every so many miles they would stop and pay their respects to the fallen soldiers, a parent the children that lost their parent are their walking for there mother or father and sometimes for both of them. As I talked to Lisa Ballester that was one of the main people for the fundraiser for The WingMan

Foundation for this event. Richard got me a shirt that said The WingMan Foundation and it was for a great cause. I love this shirt, plus I can spread the word as well.

We got our chairs and put them by the stage to get good seats. Then I saw Ben Gallager, County singer he was a cool guy I asked if I could get a small interview. He was more than excited too. So, I asked him a few questions and for me I like to let them tell me about them self’s then hound them with questions. Ben started telling me from the time he was little and he could talk he knew he wanted to become a county singer. He said that he knew that was what he was born to do. So, when he was old enough to pick up a guitar he started playing and singing and writing. He has played with Hank Williams JR. and some others. He was such a down to earth person. I asked him for a picture he said yes, and we took pictures, and he went on to talk to others and take pictures with others as well.

Then Richard saw Joe Peters, another county singer from Bakersfield. Joe is a great singer I have heard him sing before. Joe recognized Richard and came with a smile and Shaked his hand and giving me a hug, I introduced him to my cousin Antonia, and she was excited. Just to be able to get to be there and see what I do and see the country singers up close and personal. We got a picture with him. Can’t wait till Joe Peters remodel at his newly purchased bar and Grill is done in Bakersfield so we can go you there and see it and eat and do a great interview, taking some great pictures of joe Peters new remodeled building.

Joe Peters, got on stage and rocked the rodeo grounds, people were up dancing and singing. He was playing for more than an hour n a half. He didn’t even miss a beat when the lights started attracting the bugs and every once’s in a while had to stop to get them out of his mouth to start singing. It didn’t bother him a bit. Then it was Ben Gallager, to come on stage and had the people on their feet. Ben Gallager played county rock. He played some of his songs and some of other people’s songs, he sounded good. He played. But we had to leave early, so we didn’t get to stay for the whole concert. If you would like to hear him you can go on YouTube to hear some of his songs, they are really good. If you ever get the chance to go and attend one of the concerts that Six String for Freedom puts on and give them support the prices for the concerts are good prices and it’s not like any other concert you have been to before. Plus, you are doing it for a great cause.
