What a wonderful day at the Orange County Fireman's Parade yesterday!

We were proud to debut our newly updated truck logo and even more excited to have the newest member of the Darnell family, baby Reeves, along for his very first parade. Seeing generations of family riding/walking together reminded us just how much this community means to us.

Thank you to everyone who came out, waved from the sidelines, and helped make the day so special. Events like these are a beautiful reminder that we're more than neighbors—we're a community that grows together, supports one another, and celebrates life's milestones side by side.

We're grateful to be part of Orange County and look forward to many more years of growing with you all.

❤️🌱 From our family to yours, thank you for your support!
