FAVORITE DEPUTY
In 2021, we started a new tradition. If you haven’t noticed, there are a lot of ties to Toy Story with our event. With that we have decided to start our event every year with honoring someone who has gone above and beyond with their support of the Blaise Games, and they will be recognized as “Our Favorite Deputy” of the year and our honoree will have the privilege of revealing what we consider our “Olympic torch”, Woody Boots with Blaise's name on the bottom.
2021
Our favorite deputy for 2021 could not be present because he resides on the other side of the planet. But even this huge distance could not stop this person from making such a big impact on the event. Reaching all the way from China, constant text messages and e-mails were received, looking for ways to make it a success. Whenever something was needed, there was never hesitation. I’ve had a vision of what the Blaise Games can become, and we were able to take a huge step forward because of the support of this man. If you realize some improvements we’ve made, this man is to thank. His contributions will be seen in every Blaise Games to come. I cannot show enough gratitude for the support that he has given, and I hope that he can join us in person for a Blaise Games in the near future. Please join me in thanking Our Favorite Deputy for 2021, Mr. Greg Savarese.
2022
This year we would like to recognize someone who has been here since the very beginning. Even before the 1st Blaise Games took place, he was the support I needed to help get this event off the ground. He’s always asking if anything is needed leading up to the big day, and every year he’s here the night before, helping get things set up long after the sun has set, only to arrive back in the early morning on a few hours of sleep to make sure nothing else needs to be done. When everyone goes home, he’s one of the last people here to help load the truck and will then follow me back to the storage container to help take everything right back off without even asking. Each year, I don’t even have to reach out, he just wants to know what time to be there, and he did this again with twin girls who are only a couple months old.
He does all of this without wanting any recognition or asking for anything in return. He has one of the biggest hearts out of anyone I know, and this event could not happen each year without him by my side. So please join me in giving him a huge thank you for all that he has done and continues to do, and honoring Our Favorite Deputy of 2022, my brother, Mr. Billy Kerins.
