Our Fish Fry was a success!

We held our 1st "annual" fish fry on 8/25/12 and it was a great success!  We served over 160 plates of fish, fries, and fixin's to members of our community and got rave reviews.  We had a lady stop on her way to get some fast food and instead she got her lunch from us and loved it!  We even had people come back for seconds later on in the day.

Doug, Bo, Aaron, Tanya, Elaine, Kim, Susan, Cheryl, and Glen all did an outstanding job setting things up, preparing and cooking the fish, keeping drinks flowing, and running the show.  We were able to show off all the hard work that has been put in to the scout hut and tell people about what we've been doing there.

The money we raised is going to be used to support the program of Troop 165.  Many, many thanks to everyone that came out to support the effort!
