HOOTENANNY    Coffee & dessert.  Sing-along  with Will, Lou & Friends from "Big Ed" to old time favorite songs.  Our sing along was delightful.  18 neighbors turned out despite the 18^o temperature.  The upstairs of the fire hall was very cozy and when we could stay in tune we sounded great!   We all so thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!  [Top]

The Halloween Party  took place at the fire hall on October 28 with ugly witches, monsters, Dracula,  goblins, a blackened maze with  ghosts, cobwebs, scary spiders and more.  Thank you so very much to everyone who helped create this spooky haunted house and thanks to those families we had the pleasure of scaring!  The helpers were the Phillips family, the Driscoll family, Ron & Trish Friez, Denise Worthington, Cynthia Waterman, the Weidrich family, the Brandenberg family, Jeff & Alison Meslin, Kristin Osborn and more.  [Top]
