About sixty people attended from New Jersey, Ithaca, Greene, Florida, Maine, Fulton, etc. The "chicken man" made delicious barbecue chicken again this year and the auction was another success with everyone able to bring home a treasure.

It was previously reported that Doris and Mitch Rozonkiewiecz were going to have their two grand children, Mikey and Shelby visit for a week. Well they did and a great time was had by all. Boating, tubing, fishing, swimming, miniature golf, bumper bowling, a trip to Howe Caverns, a surprise visit from Uncle Mitch and Aunt Patti of Chicago overflowed the week. Deb and her husband Mike came for their two children a week later and visited for 2 days before safely returning to their home in Cameron North Carolina. Before leaving Mikey and Shelby said they would be back next year and stay one day longer than this year. Doris and Mitch think their two grandkids are just great and somehow found the energy to keep up with them for the week.
