At our outing at Randy and Missy May’s farm, we all had a great weather, great people, and an all-around great time. Thanks Randy the pig roast turned out mouth-watering delicious. We had some winners of gold nuggets in the metal detector hunt. Donna Schubert , Robert Quick, and Patrick Hoffman each won 2 nuggets. Gary Zumwalt won the Tom and Perry clean-up kit, Shirley Kephart and Roger Hunt won the Silver dollars. Great job everyone.
