Make A Wish Event Recap – Enid, Oklahoma

Enid, OK – On Thursday March 25th Checkered Flag Productions teamed up with the legendary Dan Runte and his Bigfoot monster truck and with the Make A Wish Foundation of Oklahoma to put on a special event for a very special little guy – Chandlar Meacham.

Chandlar’s parents had only told him that they had a surprise for him – but they left the details for later.  At 6pm Dan and his Summit Bigfoot monster truck greeted Chandlar and friends and family at Mazzio’s Pizza in Enid, Oklahoma.  As the truck roared to life the excitement began to build in Chandlar until he couldn’t contain himself any longer.  Once the truck was situated and parked Chandlar raced over to see it along with his friends and family.  Autographs were signed and photos were taken for over an hour, to say that Chandlar and his friends had a blast would be a total understatement. Dan and Team Bigfoot also brought a gift pack for Chandlar that had a t-shirt and toy truck of Dan’s Bigfoot with it.

After an hour or so Chandlar had worked up enough of an appetite to leave the truck for awhile and everyone headed inside for the Pizza Party.  8 pizzas of various varieties and 27 soft drinks were ordered up and handed out to the entire group.  We’d like to thank Mazzio’s for working with us and our large group, and also for having some darn tasty pizza that everyone enjoyed.

Unfortunately, even the best of times must come to an end and Bigfoot had to be loaded and returned to the arena before dark to remain in compliance with local wide-loading laws.  There was heartfelt goodbye as well as a few final photos and autographs.  It was a hard scene to leave, but it was known by all that we had to go.

Later in the night we received this email from Tiffany, Chandlar’s mom:

Thank you so much, words really cannot express the amount of gratitude my husband and I have for you and Dan and all at Checkerflag productions.  This was the best gift my son could have received.  As soon as we were home, he wanted to play with his new monster truck then ran and got his others lining them all up.  Hopefully the pictures come through and again thank you, thank you, thank you.  It was wonderful.

Thanks and bless you all!
The Meacham Family
Tiffany, Chad, and Chandlar

We would like to take this chance to say Thank you to the Meacham Family as well.  We had a great time and it is always great to meet and make that personal contact with a great family and a wonderful little guy like Chandlar.
