A record number of friends and family gathered last weekend for the annual Harvest Party hosted by Dwight and Dana Sailer.
We would have understood if the Sailers cancelled the get-together this year. Instead, Dwight and Dana threw the biggest Harvest Party yet – surrounding themselves with their tight-knit community and expressing gratitude for the love and support they’ve received since losing their daughter Jordyn in June.
Good food and fun were abundant. There was a bouncy house and pumpkin carving for the kids, and with so many critters on hand, the Sailer’s ranch was its own petting zoo.
More than 30 crockpots took over the east wall of the barn for the competitive red and green chili competition. With names like “Bloody Mary,” “World’s Best,” “Abuelita’s” and “Oh Damn That’s Good” … the chili cook-off competition was ON FIRE!

Dwight and Dana took a moment to thank friends and family for their unwavering support. They dedicated the evening to their youngest daughter and officially named their home “J Girl Ranch” to honor Jordyn.
Authentic Mexican hot chocolate simmered in the Dutch oven over the fire pit, and the band played into the night.
It was especially meaningful to come together at this year’s Harvest Party and reflect on the many things we’re thankful for. We’re so grateful for such a supportive community. We love our HighCraft family.
