The park provided the baked potatoes, butter, sour cream, water and lemonade. The residents brought whatever kind of topping they could think of to adorn their potato. I never would have thought of so many items.
Some brought cooked broccoli, some a combo of broccoli and cheese (yum), there was bacon bits, hamburger, a corn casserole, lots of different cheese, shallots, and several kinds of chili.
Our plates looked like a smorgasbord and all was delicious. LOL. There is a potato under there somewhere.
My table mates...Sam & Donna Cox, Pat & Candy Konz.
There were 51 people in attendance.
The event was free and sponsored by the Activities office. Thank you to Ashley and Terri for their hard work in prepping.
** Here is a side note with my two cents included: Tickets were distributed for the event so Ashley would know how much food to prepare. 85 people came to pick up their free tickets...........only 51 showed up. That is a frequent problem. Our residents need to be more considerate. If you find you can't attend, please return the ticket so the office can get an accurate headcount. If tickets are limited, you also prevent someone from attending that may have wanted to be there. This especially happens at free coffee and donuts events during season.
