SKI & STEW 2012: SUCCESS!!!!

By Sandy Osterreider

CVOA's Annual Moonlight Ski & Snowshoe event at the Outdoor Center on February 11^th

was a great success with more than 40 members participating.

Sandy Jamison led the skiers and Bonnie Farrar led the snowshoers and they all met at the Warming Hut. Once there, they shared appetizers and sipped on a special beverage prepared by one of the participants. Meanwhile, back at the lodge, others had their own “Happy Hour” waiting for the arrival of the trekkers to return for a pot luck dinner.

Awaiting was a large array of many original, unique and delicious soups, stews and chowders. We had a choice of two different types of chili made with either Rangeley or Sugarloaf moose, cream of fiddlehead soup and ginger carrot soup to name a few. Also offered were breads, rolls and wonderful desserts. More than enough!

Once we were sufficiently full we cleaned up the dishes, declared it a wonderful evening and said “looking forward to doing this again next year” and headed home.
