What an eventful Christmas week we had counting down the days until that jolly old elf in a red suit planned on visiting. Monday the group of diners were challenged to tear ( no scissors allowed) a Christmas tree from an old page of a newspaper. Several methods were utilized, but not all met with success, although valiant efforts were given to produce a tree worthy of a prize. An independent judge ruled Wanda McDaniel the overall winner with Bob Dillard a close second. Bob’s was super neat, but alas he bent the “tear” rule. His was folded into a tree shape with just two 1 1/2” tears. Juanelle Scott garnered the #3 spot. It was fun to watch those gears turn as they ultimately figured out their plan of attack. A big “thank you “ to all who participated.
