Pot Luck Huge Success

Hi All,

The Croissant Park recognition / pot luck dinner was a huge success. With a big crowd at hand, it was a great night for all.

The food was great and with a big selection. My personal favorite was Peter Bowker's Shepard Pie. Yummmmmy. Pat Rathburn's carrot cake cup cake were amazing too.

On the recognition side, there were some well deserved awards handed out. The Carlson family won the PS Shover Citizen awards which means that Karla, Chris and Britney all deserved to be recognized in the community for all they have done. Hip Hip Hooray for the whole family.

Does anyone out there have any comments from the night? Let see some reply post, please.
God Bless,
John
