Sunday, February 28 Pat Spicer lead a ski on the Tom's Run Trail. A few people, not wanting to ski on the sticky snow, choose snowshoes and went their own way.
Meanwhile at the pavilion a turkey roasted in an overturned trash can (a clean one kept for only this purpose). Dennis Anderson brought the turkey, charcoal and all the equipment for his special method and for a second year in a row the turkey was declared by all to be wonderful. Others brought a dish to pass making it an outdoor feast.
