Super Bowl Party

Yesterday was the day of the big game. It was also the day for our Super Bowl Party. The plan was to invite everybody in the campground, but the club left early in the day and it left only our staff and a few "straggler" guests. There were probably 20 people in attendance. It was a great spread with everything from chips and dip, crackers and cheese, weenies, meat balls and various other finger foods to banana pudding and donuts for dessert. Josie made "pigs in a blanket" and they were all eaten. I was in charge of the Super Bowl pool, and that was fun. Because there fewer people than we expected, I had to sell each of the 100 spaces on the pool for $.50 instead of $1.00 so that we could sell all the spaces. The prizes were $10 to the winner after each quarter with $20 going to the game winner. Josie won $10 as the third quarter winner.

It was a great time watching a great game. The pictures below were taken just before the game started. The first one is of Harv (on the left) who is our office manager, and Bill, the owner:

This second picture is of everybody watching the pre-game show:

There were two large cups on the food table, one for each team, for people to place a paper with their name on it into the one for their favorite team. After the game, names were drawn for door prizes out of the winning team cup. Josie and I both were for the Saints and we both won a door prize. I won a hat and Josie won a patch of the campground logo. That's not bad since there were three prizes handed out. Yes, there were more than three names in the cup.

Everybody enjoyed the game and the party so it was a fun day for all. Our next two days are free days, but we aren't sure what we we will do. This morning, at least, we are just relaxing and watching the Today show. Until tomorrow...
