Horseshoe Banquet 2010

As is custom, the Horseshoe banquet is a celebration of the league's activities during the last summer's season (2009). In Horseshoe League fashion, what a fantastic meal that was had by all. The Prime Rib could be cut with a fork; Lobsters were the biggest ever. Priscilla put out some delicious appetizers and desserts. Thank you to Brad & Priscilla for organizing this each year, and thank you Marcel & Karen Remillard, Rick Purdy, Rick and Edie Vincuilla for putting out an awesome meal. The winners are as follows: 1st place is Pat Lynch, 2nd is Dean Crosby, and a tie for third between Jim Bardsley and Gary Hassett. Most losses by C.R.

April 10th - Comedy night

Comedy Night Kitchen Crew 2010 Our first comedy night this year was a sold out show : The meal was scrumptious, serving a heaping portion of Roast Beef, mashed potatoes and green beans, salad and garlic bread. No one walked away hungry. The comedians kept everyone laughing all evening. Thank you to everyone who helped in making this a successful event. We'd also like to thank Miss Eileen Long for making a wonderful cheese and cracker platter. There was not a crumb left.
