2003: Post-potluck update

The hostess would like to thank the setup and takedown crews: Judy, Lauri, Kim, Chris, Emily, Lisa, Laura, Terese, JB, Brent, Becky, Kathy, Lorne, Nancy, Jim and ???. Thanks to Terese and Lois for the photos.

We collected 173 units of canned meat, 131 of them Spam, plus a leftover bag of nacho chips. Lisa, Hoedown guest and Atwood Community Center assistant director, says, “This is the first time I’ve seen that shelf full. Thank you.”

A variety of items were left behind, the most intriguing being a black speckled kettle. Telephone the hostess, and she will leave your container on the front porch for you to pick up.

Too much clutter in your home? Feel free to recycle your Jell-O trophies by leaving them on the front porch of the hostess’ home.

Leftovers

The hostess is happy to report that on post-Hoedown Monday, she found her packet of checks temporarily lost in the rubble in her car. She also found a case of exploded, frozen fizzy water under her driver’s seat.
