Harvest Feast Pot Luck Surprise Visitor

Last night's Harvest Feast was wonderful. We had an overflow crowd, with many new people having just arrived in the park. Excitement is in the air as the new season is starting. Many fun events are planned for the future. Make sure you get into the habit of checking this blog, or the FunBuzz Blog, or especially, the message boards in the pavilion for updates and info.

Plan on lunch every Saturday. So far we've enjoyed great cheeseburgers and brats, with fresh vegetables and fruit beginning to make an appearance. This Saturday Lisette & Gary/Roy & Kathy will be doing those big hot dogs we all love.

Smothered in chili and chopped onions...yummy! Not to gross you out...see how I didn't add this picture until AFTER the hot dogs.

I'm sensitive that way.

This baby rattlesnake was a visitor to our dinner last night. The snake was found outside the community room, not mingling with the guests..thank goodness. But it was brought in for all to admire.
The road kill jokes that followed were a riot, good thing we had finished eating!


Mariana happened to have her camera handy to memorialize the moment. She gets another entry into the Blog Ideas contest!




Speaking of contests...Lisette is compiling recipes for a Sandpiper Cookbook. When you bring a dish to a pot luck, bring along the recipe too. Now, since nobody is doing that...I take that back...there was one recipe turned in last night....since MOST aren't doing that, we'll sweeten the pot a bit. Everyone who submits a recipe gets a chance for a FREE cookbook, to be awarded after they are printed in the Spring. 25 recipes will get you 25 chances...but make them recipes you are proud of!

To set the record straight. Karen found the snake.

Jim #38 came to the rescue, identified the snake as a rattler, and tried to hit the snake with a concrete block, but missed.

John #5, affirmed the rattler I.D., picked up a piece of the broken block and clobbered the snake.

Mariana then took a picture of the dead rattlesnake.

Tony #40, thought it was a grass snake but still volunteered to grill it.

I like the details.
