Last night we had the pleasure of joining Guy Niedorkorn at the annual I Gotta Guy Sausage Festival, benefiting the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research and their continued advancements for Schaaf-Yang Syndrome. The Festival is a Primera favorite, and this year, one of our own, John Plezbert, was honored as the 2026 Hall of Flame Recipient. It was a great night full of fundraising, friends, and of course, sausage.
