On Oct 31, the Delia Seniors hosted a Creepy Crib Tournament with 24 participants including visitors from Byemoor, Hanna and Castor; some wore costumes, some scared the life out of people by not! We’d like to thank Peggy Anderson and Pat Hoover for volunteering to make the lunches and clean up! We also wish to thank Tiffany Friedly from the Delia Library for visiting and bringing cupcakes and to Colette Morlock for donating the pies! You girls rock! Then I’d like to pat myself on the back and announce that I came in 4th place, Margaret Rogers and our dear Joan Morrison tied for 3rd while Marcel LaMarche took 2nd place. First place was taken by Steve Buckley from Castor with a perfect zero score. He also won the door prize. Congratulations Steve! The 50/50 winner was Margaret Rogers!
