Year End Christmas Party

This year's December meeting and Christmas Party will be on December 5th at 7:00 p.m. at the American Legion Hall 204 W Birch Ave. in downtown Flagstaff. Please bring a dish of your choice to share. The party is always been pot luck and we have never made any real assignments. I suppose that is one of the things that makes it fun.

We will also have a gift exchange. You may participate by bringing a wrapped gift of some sort. We will draw names out of a hat to see who gets to go first, and it will be in a white elephant gift exchange format. Your gift may be taken up to 2 times before it is finally dead. This event has been a lot of fun in the past.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Winslow Holiday Parade

The Winslow Holiday Parade was a blast, a little windy, but a blast none the less. We had 18 different entries under our banner including a Leader tractor brought by John Cadzow (the first one I have ever seen) a great turn out from the Payson group, a couple of engines, and 2 antique trucks to boot. I am waiting on pictures to be e-mailed to me so I can add them to the blog, so if you have any, send them to naatandea@gmail.com.

A special thanks to Randy Ahrens for organizing the event!!!!!!!!
