MW-Represent was thoroughly educational! We had 35 people throughout the night and the recycling bin is overflowing with beer cans – lots of Milwaukee’s Best.
COMPETITIONS
BEST COZY
tie : Melissa and Allison Parker
BEST MIDWEST SHIRT
Jennie Tower for her Rockford Speedway shirt that was signed across teh chest by the guy who won (by racing a mini school bus) the night she bought the shirt.
CREATIVITY
Hands down this goes to Carye Bye for her jello salad with a Minnesota flag and Gradma’s Cowboy Cookies complete with Grandma’s recipe. Oh, and Minnesota music! Sorry there were no more prizes at this point because someone stole the other prizes.
Yeah, someone stole two prizes and I found the wrapper for one of them in the bathroom the next morning. THAT WAS WEIRD.
GAMES
- We didn’t get around to playing Euchre because things were hectic.
- We played with ducks.
- We played Bocce in the rain until it got to be too much.
FOOD
Bratwurst, Cincinnati Chili (thanks Carie!), deviled eggs, the aforementioned MN treats, conies and more. YUM!
Thanks to everyone who came. We’ll see you next year!
