Wednesday, June 27, was our evening Courthouse tour given by Don Barnes. He was paired as a host with Bob and Cecelia Stansbury and offered to give the tour to all interested Airstreamers. Many attended and were treated to a history and art lesson of the many murals that adorned the walls of the large courtroom. He was assisted by his lovely wife, Carol.
After the tour we walked across the street and had dinner at the Ivory Grill in the Hotel Bothwell with Gene and Kathy Blanchard. We'd heard from many that the food was excellent and were very happy with our choices.
That afternoon Larry and I attended the food and wine pairing seminar. It was one of the best seminars ever! Nor Cal's Kimber Woods was the presenter and she paid very close attention to detail. After two hours of sampling Missouri wines and the food pairings of cheesy potatoes, beef brisket, butt ends pork and a finish of lemon cake we were all happy campers! If she does a repeat performance next year she may have to get a much larger room.
Thursday (June 28) was the Florida Treasure Coast Unit's luncheon at Colton's BBQ. We were given a special deal of 2 meals for $12.99 and were not disappointed in the food. Bob Vasser had now joined us for a few days' visit and we went with him.
I think Thursday night was our dinner at the Little Big Horn Cattle Company restaurant, owned by the mayor's husband, Tom Horn. It became our Nor Cal dinner since almost all our members who were at the rally were there. Missing were Jane and Mike Malone, who flew in from California since they are heading out on the Alaska Caravan and figured they'd be doing quite enough driving this summer.
So, Tom and Hedda, Sandy and Harold, Bob Vasser, Judith Ballard and Larry and I were the well-fed diners.
Region 3's lunch was Friday (29) in the MEC building. Excellent food and we won a table decoration.
We sat at Dan and Maxine McIntyre's table and they also won a table decoration.
