Bev P. also tried a new system for voting on the "Best Find of the Year." She
passed out four slips of paper to each person. After viewing all the entries, everyone would place one slip next to
their vote in each category, to be counted at the end. When the final votes were in, these were the results. . .

Ken P. also tried his hand at shaking up
the routine by gift wrapping the five raffle prizes and making us choose a prize unseen. The
winners included Marge U., Larry D., Irene O. David T. and Ellen C.
The Dirty Bingo games this
year were the hit as usual! They progressed a little more quickly due to the closing timeline we were under by the restaurant,
but that did not hinder the fun. The first to call Bingo was Nick L., he chose the Duncan Miller sandwich salver.
The first prize stolen was taken by Ken P., he stole the gravy boat. Halla K. was a good sport when
Marge U., who was helping run the "number calling" table, asked Halla to deliver the prize she
was stealing from her to Marge. Was it a little fishy that Marge won twice in a row?! The set of Hazel Marie weatherman
books were the prize stolen the most often, being chosen five times, only one more than the gravy boat and platter were taken.
Surprisingly, Marilyn H. had the books stolen from her twice, but both times, she was eventually able to win and steal them
back, in time to carry them home with her. What determination! The final game, an all card cover-up, was won by
Cindy S.. She stole the Fenton Vasa vase. The "Most Excited" reward, if we were to give one out, may
have had to go to Halla K. for her surprised scream of delight as her raffle ticket was called for a winning poinsettia!
