When it came time for the 4th of july every year and people would ask us where we were going to watch fireworks, I would reply Im going to Eaton cuz a buddy of mine Dan Medlin puts on the best damn firework show around. It will be an all day event of food, cornhole, riding 4 wheelers, and hanging out with friends having a beer. Dan and Donna go through the expense and labor of putting on a good show for others to enjoy because that's the kind of people they are. The next question is usually, "well how did you meet him" to which I reply, "he is a friend of my son Nick". Yeah, Dan would attend the gun shows with Nick, target practice in his back yard with Nick, taught him what a growler was at some of the micro-brewery, and would just hang out and be a friend to Nick despite the generation gap. I am forever thankful for how good Dan and Donna treated my son. RIP Dan and I hope you and Nick are kicken-it up there together again looking down and watching over us
