Harry Potter

How do you feel about Harry? Love him? Hate him? Will you be standing in line for the new movie on opening night?

Thanks to everyone who came to the Caboose. We hope you had a good time.

Iron Pastry, the conclusion

Winners in the veggie round were:



1st place - Jeremie











2nd place - Damodrick








3rd place - Janessa











The third round of competition was candy dioramas. They were difficult to photograph--I may add some of the photos later. Jasmine was the first place winner, followed by Eric in second place and Hajar in third.

Jasmine, Alex and Jeremie moved on to the the final round. Each of them had an entire cake to decorate. Jasmine took first place with her cross cake. Alex came in second with his longhorn cake. Someone (not saying who!) accidentally deleted the photo of Alex's cake from the computer. We are trying to get the photo back. Sorry, Alex! Jeremie's heart cake came in third. Thanks to everyone who participated, judged, and helped out.

Caboose Extravaganza

For those of you who have turned in your first game card (deadline was today at noon), we are going to meet at the 50th Street Caboose tomorrow at 5:00 pm. We are going to meet in the party room (near the games). We are going to order food as soon as we get there so that we will have plenty of time to play. We will provide some tokens but be sure to bring additional money if you want to play a lot of games.

Here are the food options that we can select from:

Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Chicken Fried Steak, Chicken Strips, 2 Green Chicken Enchiladas, 2 Cheese Enchiladas, 2 Beef Enchiladas, 2 Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas, Beef or Chicken Fajitaladas, "Original" Trainload Salad, Beef or Chicken El Grande, Chicken Cado Salad.

There will not be room in the party room for friends or family but after we eat, they can meet up with us in the game area.

See you tomorrow at the caboose.

Prizes

Someone asked a few posts back if the prizes in the drawing were the same each time or different. They are different every time.

Did everyone who went to Iron Pastry recover from all that sugar?
