Another Successful Spaghetto

This past Sunday marked the 26th Spaghetto at camp. Todd, Carolyn, Steve, and Sherry were this year's organizers. It was their first year (after Bob and Carla left at the end of last season) and they did a great job.

Festivities began in the 8 o'clock hour, per the usual routine. Sauce and pasta pots were washed and coated with soap (on the outside to make cleaning easier), the salad tent was erected, the line was staked out, and sauce was poured in the pots. The salad prep team assembled by 11 am and began slicing and dicing the vast array of salad toppings. The first band member arrived before 1, and the rest were there and playing before 2 pm. Volunteers made their toast shortly after 2 pm, then serving began.

301 people, 1 hour 45 minutes, and many smiles later, the meal was complete. Mike took the group photo and we enjoyed the waning hours of the afternoon. Steve and Helen joined the festivities, which made the occasion all the more special. We had a late dinner, went to the fire, to the dance, and then crashed. What a day!

You really should join us if you haven't been to Spaghetto. It is a fun time filled with laughter, friendship, and good times.
