From the chicken pot pie to the corn chowder and chicken stew to the shepherd’s pie, the baked beans and the “Hallet Hash”, every- thing was made from scratch and every- thing tasted awesome. For those who came through the line and ate, you saw many Ladies and Nobles who were there all weekend long and helping out and they should be recognized as well. Ladies Jai- me Beals, Monica Patterson, Annette Marin, Deanne Merrill, Linda Higgins, Cindy Johnson, and Nobles Albert Hig- gins, Tom Breitweg, Todd Miller and Di- rector Adam Beals. They all went from the temple to the Cross Center numerous times a day to prepare the food and then set it up at the Cross Center in time for everyone after the shows. Not to forget our Nobles and family’s spending time outside among the crowd before the shows selling programs. A huge congratulation to one of the Second Section newest mem- bers, Noble Bill Harris and family who never missed a show and didn’t miss many sales of programs either. Along with Bill, we had a small group of Nobles on hand selling programs. Nobles Bob Mott, Mike Gray, Joe Kitchen, Rich Johnson, Clayton Wallace, Jerry Hayes, Greg Patterson, An- drew Patterson, Harland Williamson, JR Mitchell, Joe B. Rollins and I even sold a few as well.

There were a few glitches but over all I thought it came off pretty well. One had to always keep in mind that it was a totally new venue and it was unfair to the circus crew to compare it to the old auditorium. It was my first visit to the Cross Center and I was really impressed. What a build- ing. This building definitely defines the difference between an Event Center and an Auditorium.
