Popular Smales Farm Goodside bar and eatery Fantail & Turtle was the venue for the 'Big Buddy Long Lunch' held on Wednesday July 1st. Travis Field, the big-hearted owner of Fantail & Turtle, is also the chair of Big Buddy. The capacity crowd enjoyed a wonderful afternoon, raising an amazing $50,000 to support boys without their dads in their lives – which is what Big Buddy is all about. Speakers included former Police Chief Mike Bush, Travis Field and Rosalind Warren – a mother who has experienced first-hand the benefits of Big Buddy. Big Buddy CEO Paul Burns also addressed the crowd during the afternoon. The event was MC'd by James McOnie and the auctioneer was Shane Cortese.
