It was a time full of great food made by <a href="http://www.chefo.us/">Chef Oliver Hale</a>, great fun playing games and great fellowship with our staff members and their spouses!<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzrXBEw_hpuxSU8PDTNMl0Ax-YbIQ3PNP8A-8RK_gVRiZ4ej4NdIzx7MfLNvrjsyMsbnxI-ZF949xHwR0M3aCIxgpOJf33QhbI0nWSs47WYFvx1DkwbLiDccU81i53W45K2r_37zo8Hu5E/s1600/1-IMG_0852-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553221582901268834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzrXBEw_hpuxSU8PDTNMl0Ax-YbIQ3PNP8A-8RK_gVRiZ4ej4NdIzx7MfLNvrjsyMsbnxI-ZF949xHwR0M3aCIxgpOJf33QhbI0nWSs47WYFvx1DkwbLiDccU81i53W45K2r_37zo8Hu5E/s320/1-IMG_0852-1.jpg" style="display:block;
