View from the Creek - Raining Sunshine
This past weekend was very full and wonderful. Day in the Sun took place on Saturday at the Roger Ludlow Middle School Campus. We found our roots again thanks to the incredible weather. After spending the past 3 years in the cafeteria and the gym moving back outside was met with a degree of reluctance. Logistically the cafeteria was easy - we had it down to a science - we have been there and done that. But Barbara would not back down - she said that " our special guests spend most of the year eating in an institutional setting and need a "day in the Sun" ." And that is what they got.
Our volunteers did an incredible job - Joe and Mary from Ash Creek volunteered with the food - Joe supervising one of the hot dog grills and Mary was a key player in the distribution sector of our food service. We served over 600 guests - hotdogs and subway sandwiches. Sorry - no chili this year - we could only juggle so many balls without something hitting the ground. Next year - I promise. May even have some help. I hear there may be a few good chili chefs out there who could lend an overburdened firefighter a hand. :)
