After work today (1745), I drove to Whaleback Mountain so I could attend the first annual Flannel Fest event! I arrived just after it started (1800) and ate some really good appetizers while the other guests arrived. Later, entrees were added to the food tables and I tried several different delicious items. Everything was served inside huge pumpkins and was really good. Throughout the evening, I mingled in the crowd, while drinking some good local beers, and met lots of people. At one point, I watched some youngsters playing a game of "washers" and talked to another guy starting up the fire pits. One of the highlights of the evening was making S'mores with a whole lot of other happy people. There were probably more than 100 people there and, since it was a fundraiser, the organizers were in very good spirits. Left for home at around 2030 - bring on Winter!
