- Jim York- Event Coordinator
- I, Jim York, am the not so better half of Gabby, father of 3 children owner of 1 dog and a bird. I held many capacities during my years with "The organization that must not me named". I organized a blood drive for the Red Cross at 2 Pagan Picnics. And organized a fund raiser for the Children's Miracle Network. With all that responsibility, I still manage to be one of 3 co-chairs for this event. I oversee hospitality and security. I hope you have a wonderful time and come back next year.
