The Blue Spruce chapter was well represented with eleven couples attending this event. Eight couples registered for the Samboree. They are: Bill and Jan Agnew, Don and Nita Chisholm, Jimmy and Vicky Clark, Larry and Dee Hall, Dennis and Audrey Murphy, Richard and Dolores Stoesser, Frank and Joan Thielbar and Joe and Lou Wrinkle. Ron and Chris Crawford came out for the day on Thursday, Kyle and Marci Renberg on Friday and Bill and Rhonda Davidson on Saturday. Thanks to all for your support and participation.

Many of us participated in the games. Larry Hall won second place in bocce ball tournament. Lou and Joe Wrinkle won the bean-bag toss event. The Blue Spruce chapter won second place in the table decorating contest. Thanks to all the ladies there for their help. Congratulations to all the winners! Bill Agnew and Dennis Murphy assisted with the parking again this year. At least this year we were able to use golf carts to run around in. That was a good thing as some of the spaces were about a quarter-mile away from the registration area.

The Good Sams held a food drive for a Rocky Ford charity this year. Your President missed that announcement from the State Director, so we collected from those folks attending and we bought some foods at the store to contribute. There was a good amount donated, so it should help out some needy folks. They also held a used book sale, with those proceeds going to another local charity.

I think everyone there had a good time, even Wednesday afternoon when it rained. If you weren’t at the Samboree, you missed a good time.
