2012 Monday Gypsies Closing Banquet

I must apologize, I don't think I had my camera on the right setting, it was rather dark in the hall so some of the pictures I took were too dark and blurry to add to the blog.  But I did add some of them even though they were blurry because I did not want anyone to feel left out!

The Committee for the banquet was Sandra Rowe and Carol Wilvert

Dinner is now over and if you had the correct object in your purse  you had to rush to the front to take part in the Lets make a deal game.  Three persons at a time, each asked separately if they would like to keep the small box that was given to them or if they would like the gift behind door 1 - 2 or 3!

There were many interesting prizes with a few zonks along the way, the chattering teeth and the plunger were the funniest,  but there were gift cards, bottles of wine and all kinds of other wonderful prizes!

Don't know what the prize was, but Kirsten Gibson thought it was very funny!  That's Sandra with her back to you with the hat on she was the Master of 

Ceremonies.

Carol and her applause meter!  She also had to make sure the boxes were all filled with a prize after every draw!

Anne Sorochinsky all smiles with the prize she drew from behind one of the boxes!

Anyone who had not received a prize or anyone who had got zonked - received a prize at the end of the draws.

Marg MacVinnie with a nice bottle of wine and a line-up behind her waiting to make a deal!
