Iron Chef Cookoff

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

On  behalf of the Farmers Market, I would like to take the time to thank all that came to the market to make the cook off a success!  Gosh wasn’t it great that Whole Foods provided such lovely red snapper?  I truly wanted to bring the snapper home and eat it myself!   I was especially impressed that Whole Foods also donated manpower in the form of Hoss, the director of the seafood department.  I hope someone took a video of  Hoss showing the kids how to filet a fish.

I wanted to let you know that the Judges – including Hoss, would be happy to come and give your troops seminars on anything from how to filet a fish, to how to plate…  The judges had a wonderful time and are eager to come back and do this again.

Should you  or the scout troop members  go to Whole Foods, please take the time to seek out a manager and thank them for being so generous in providing the food. (Over $600 in seafood!)  Fabio works at La Dolce Vita, Bellinis and will be at a restaurant in Ross Bridge very soon – again – if you should be in one of those restaurants, please let the managers know how much you appreciate him doing this.

Sincerely,

Mary R. Idzerda Perko

Court of Honor

Rank Advancements - Click picture for more pics

We had our Court of Honor following our Summer Camp.  We typically give the boys their rank advancement badges as soon as possible after they earn them and then honor them at the next court of honor.  Well since they earned their badges at Summer Camp and then two weeks later we had the Court of Honor we were able to give them their rank badges and honor them at the same time.  All 13 of the new Scout ranked boys had a blast.  This was their first court of honor in which they were honored and they were loving it.  We all had a great time and everyone is looking forward to a lot more rank advancements at the next court of honor.
