Friday night was the annual Chamber Meeting/Celebration – and it sounds like everyone enjoyed themselves immensely!  I was unable to go this year – and everyone that I have talked to that attended has enjoyed telling me how much fun I missed!  (friends!?)

We took a few pictures after the decorating crew left ( Sue Kulbeik, Karen Oakes, Kim Sykora & Donnette Herberg)  Wow did they do a great job!  with Bob Kulbeik & Kurt Westlund helping the decorating crew with the heavy lifting and moving.

The Silent Auction items were wonderful!  (I was able to “win” a framed watercolor by local artist Deb Larson!!)

Kim Sykora organized the games – she seems to have a natural knack at picking the best games!

Game Winners were:

The Grill – Barb Ash;

Jewelry Set = Dale Homan;

Mixer – Jackie Dybdahl

Thank you to everyone that participated in the evening! (more details will be posted when Donnette returns to the office!)
