We had a good time visiting and sampling soup/stew from our classes at our FIRST ANNUAL "Soup"er Stew Cookoff this past Tuesday evening. There were at least 85 people that attended (that's how many voted).

There were five teams that represented their classes well. Classes from 1962, 1975, 1977, 1979 & 1980.

We sampled each of the five soups/stews and then voted on them. (ALL in fun of course :-) ) All were good, but this year first place went to the Class of 1962!!!

Class of 1979 came in a close second and Class of 1977 finished 3rd.

Thank you to all who participated and thank you to all who came!!!

We hope to do this again next year, and will let you know when we know the date for sure!!!

Thank you!!!!
