Hoedown is Jan. 25: Think we will have snow? Contact Hostess for time and location (’tis a private party after all).
- Guests, please bring hotdish, salad, dessert or other tasty, homemade dishes to pass, labeled with info on contents (gluten, nuts, dairy, OK for vegans, etc.).
- In the hallway: Tended bar. Don’t forget to come back to the party!
- In the party room: Fizzy water, nonalcoholic beer, probably juice and/or soda.
- Optional activities for children will be in own room with supervision.
- Jell-O singing will occur if the crowd so demands.
- Food pantry donations accepted — including plastic, paper and reusable grocery bags.
Jell-O Contest
Jell-O creators use gelatin and perhaps other food and/or inedible objects in their entries. Hoedown guests select winners through secret balloting — and they are encouraged to vote early to speed counting.
Participation in Jell-O Contest is optional, but the pin is awfully nice. Unsolicited advice: start the weekend before and use less water. Remember, Jell-O never grows old.
