TASCC members and volunteers enjoy a fun evening

Tahquamenon Area Senior Citizens Club members joined with volunteers for a social evening that included a sit-down, homestyle meatloaf dinner with more sides than anyone could possible imagine. After being treated to a cookout by the membership in July, volunteers turned the tables on the membership, treating them to dinner Wednesday night in the club's meeting place, the back room of the group's thrift store. President Sue Taylor explained the reason for the dinner saying, "The volunteers wanted to feed all the members to celebrate making over $6,000 last month." This philanthropic organization uses profits from the operation of their thrift store to support a variety of local needs.

company before digging into a feast of gargantuan proportions.

Club members and volunteers get their pick of a mountain
of food, from a relish tray to an assortment of salads, to yummy
mashed potatoes and meatloaf, no one who attended
this gathering left the hall with an empty stomach.

Last night beauties from throughout the area participated in the Annual Fair Pageant. Here are a few pictures from the event that played to a packed house.

I am DEFINITELY not a videographer but, here's the eight-second shot of the crowd singing its line. Great fun!

Pure Michigan Newberry 'in the can'

Rob Bliss and Jeff Barrett embarked on an amazing road trip that includes 50 cities in one week. In the end they'll produce a Pure Michigan video that includes such venues as the Grand Hotel, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Parasailing in Mackinac City, hot air balloons in Battle Creek, kayaking past Pictured Rocks, the Detroit Zoo, the planetarium in Bay city, the Detroit Lions training camp and much, much more. 

The best thing about all this - Newberry leads off the song that is interwoven throughout the production! 

Here are some still shots from today's event. Enjoy.
