Hi all
We had a wonderful Christmas Dinner, over 280 signed up. The ham which was provided was sooo good, I had some prepared with the pineapple and it was way good then I had to try the plain ham, each was juicy and very tasty. After dinner Connie the mgr. gave out the names of the Christmas lighting contest winners...they were 1st place - Gene Koliba and Mary Freunshuh at #56, 2nd place was Gordon and Joyce Amos at #51 and 3rd place went to Dave and Marlys Hicks #227. In the park models the 1st place winner was Cleland and Ann Thorpe - #34, 2nd place went to Mary and Dick Hilde, A-5, and 3rd place winner was Gene and Phyllis Bouvet #402

For the quilters out there!

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree,
I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me,
Could it be fat quarters or a pattern
or lace? Or a quilt kit, I said, with a smile on my face.
And that's when I heard him,
"Hi Santa,"I said.
"You know....good little girls should be in their beds".
"I know I should Santa, and now I've been caught.
"Well lets take a look in the room where you work."
He shook his head quickly, And left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear.
"You've got enough stuff, I'll see you next year!"

Well, that's about right! But it's hard to turn down lovely fat quarters or pretty material, You always can find uses for more, right?
