| RAFFLE AND PARTY AT MAGGIES |
Friday, 8:30 AM. 17 degrees, wind W, light with moderate gusts. The sky is completely overcast, the barometer predicts snow and a few flakes are falling.
Last night’s Chamber of Commerce Community After Hours shopping, raffle and party was pretty successful. Most shops were open, they were quite busy and there seemed to be a lot of people from out of town on the streets. The street decorations are nice again this year and the weather cooperated, as it was a comparatively warm evening, without a snowstorm.
Raffle tickets, along with holiday goodies, were free at each shop, and at 7:00 PM a party and raffle drawing was hosted by Maggies restaurant, which was filled to overflowing with folks in a party mood. Joan and I got there early enough to have a hamburger and a beer before the drawing.
We were rather disappointed to find that we had missed the annual Forever Ed’s Lutefisk Dinner, held at Maggies every year. It is a free community dinner but you have to read the notice on the restaurant bulletin board or hear of the date by word of mouth. It is always a great time, but in all honesty I can probably only do lutefisk (lye-soaked, reconstituted cod) and aqavit (Norwegian fire water) once every couple of years anyway.
