Ward Birthday Bash/Carnival

    Mokelumne River Ward has a big birthday celebration every year in September.  This year was no exception and planning began months before. The party is known for it's excellent food. Food guru Cathy Leonard headed up the salad portion of the dinner.  She chose three delicious salads: Cowboy, Italian Pasta Primavera, and Classic Macaroni.   She bought the ingredients, cooked the macaroni and boiled eggs at home, then supervised a group of sisters for chopping , mixing, and packing the salads into little individual boxes.  See picture below.

Casey Haynes (center, blue shirt) Elders Quorum President in the ward, is also the GO-TO man for delicious meat. Party goers had several things to choose from and all was cooked to perfection. Upper left corner is salad maker  Cathy Leonard enjoying the meal with her husband Travis.


   The carnival was enjoyed mostly by children and teens.  There were animals to pet, games to play, and lots of yummy prizes.
    Since the bash/carnival was held on September 11, the entry to the pavilion was lined with flags and everyone noted the occasion of the twin tower tragedy and the loss of lives.
