The Knights Ferry Community dinner was very well attended. Folks just kept coming in bringing good food! The Oakdale High School Choir and Show Choir performed for the audience under the direction of Bryan Mills. Performing a solo duet were Breanna Cordono and Jessica Long. Attending her first dinner at the clubhouse was Annabelle Dean Schlegel with her parents Maranda and Andrew Schlegel. The food was excellent and the socialization terrific.

Don and Gayle Diltz have returned from visiting their daughter and son-in-law in Ellensburg, Oregon for Thanksgiving. While there Don supervised the work on their new home. They saw the Snoqualmie Falls, which were beautiful. Gayle shopped with her daughter at the fish market and had some great clam chowder, saw Bill Gates home on the Sound, saw the first Starbucks and ate at the Red Horse Café, which had the best tomato-ravioli soup. The only down side was the weather, snow and 9 degrees.

The Christmas parade in the Ferry was great. There were decorated golf carts, cars, ATV’s, kids on bikes, kids with dogs, Model A, the “train”, pulling a load of kids and adults, mini cars, motorbike, and the fire truck! It was great!
