Eric took on a tour from Brick Yard in Morgantown. We got to explore all over
the South Park area of town. Then the people of Brick Street served us and were
pretty quick about it. If you were one of the first ones in you had your food
almost right away. Some of us had to wait a little bit, but nothing compared to
most places we go. They have lots of room and there is parking just next door
across from the bank. We'll have to put it on the list to go back!

This week Angela will be haring from the downtown Mi Pueblo on 1st Street. This
is on the main drag heading downtown just before the bridge on the left. We sort
of park all around the building. Try and be nice and not take up the spots right
next to the entrance.

There's been some talk about our Christmas Hashes. We have our normal jingle
bell hashes scheduled for Morgantown and Fairmont.  Sandy sent out the following
and Gina responded with the following idea:

From Sandy:
Ok everyone...it' s that time of the year again! Well, yes...lots of fun hashes
and drinking afterwards to keep us warm. But I'm talking about the Christmas
Hash. Last year it was in Fairmont, so tradition dictates it be held in
Morgantown this year. I would like to propose and idea and see what everyone
thinks: Since I don't think any of us are needy this holiday season (well,
except for Charlie...but then he's always needy) :) I don't think any of us need
a $15 wall clock, or hat, or 6 pack of beer. Ok, I know know I lost you all on
the last one! ;) I was thinking it would be nice if we could find a family in
need and instead of buy gifts for our usual gift exchange...we buy gifts for the
family. Than if they are agreeable we could invite them to the after hash and
buy their dinner and give them their gifts. What does everyone think? We could
try to get Keglers, preferable Keglers 2, but we could use that back room if we
have to; however, it is a little crowed.  So reply and let me know if this is
something you think we should do. Also ***** Important **** Does anyone know of
a FAMILY IN NEED this Holiday Season?? It would be nice to help a friend of one
of the runners. If not, we can check with the Salvation Army or if anyone knows
of any family from their church. Please reply quickly so I have time to plan
this.

From Gina:
Sandy--Can't think of a family, but I do have a few ideas. Our department works
with patients at Chestnut Ridge Hospital, several of them have nothing. Staff
takes in clothes, etc. Jackie, one of my coworkers who works with several
patients over there, would appreciate anything we could do. Also, the Rosenbaum
Family house. We could buy supplies--paper towels, etc., for the house or
provide a meal for the people staying at the house the night of our hash. I can
get more information if anyone is interested.

See ya on the trail,
ON – ON!!!

According to the calendar, we're supposed to be hashing from Hoops tomorrow.
However, since we've ended up there for the last two Tuesday Fairmont hashes, I
thought maybe we should switch to Mi Pueblo on 1st Street. At any rate, that's
where the hares will be. So come get your Mexican on. You'll appreciate it when
you're working your way through a week's worth of leftover turkey!

ON-ON
Angela

Matt took the hares on a trail for the ages. The hounds only got confused a few
times as Matt twisted and turned the trail into what some might call a mass of
confusion, but a good hare will call keeping the pack together. Always a good
time!

This week Erik will be haring from Brick Yard Pub at 237 Spruce Street in
Morgantown. Looks like that is in between Pleasant and Walnut Street. There are
a couple of parking lots and garages nearby so enjoy the free for all!

See you on the trail,

ON – ON!!!

Mark put on a great run from out on Point Marion Road. We got to visit the golf
course and all kinds of spots and trails that most people never get to see! Then
Mark opened up his home to all the hounds for an evening of dining. There was
chips and salsa, then soup, and finally shish kabobs. Goodness! Mark knows how
to host a hash. But you know us hashers, we always try to outdo each other, so
who is going to take the hosting crown away from Mark?

This week Matt S will lead the hounds from the Derby in Fairmont. The Derby used
to be the smokers capital, but not anymore with the new smoking ordinance in
Marion County. It's at 1124 Virginia Ave. The Derby is located on 12th street
just across from east west stadium. From Morgantown you can take the downtown
exit off of I-79 and follow Rt. 310 N into town until the end of it where you
will turn left onto Rt. 250 S. 12th Street will be just over a half mile on your
left just before Shop & Save.

See you on the trail,

ON - ON!!!
