Amen!

I wanted to share some photos and such from our June dinner group in Odgen. On Thursday evening, June 26th, we made an exodus back in time to visit Jefferson Square, site of the Pingree Mansion and what had been until recently, the meeting place of the Methodist congregation. We gathered at Union Station, grabbed sandwiches from local restaurants, and reassembled in the church banquet room, originally a boxing ring.


After dinner we had a tour of the old church and the mansion. It was awesome experience to learn of the history of both buildings and of some of the owners and occupants over the years. The whole remodeling project was inspiring!


The two dozen parishioners enjoyed a healthy dose of homemade ice cream (compliments of Jed). We stretched the evening as much as we could, but the train was departing soon and most had to work the next morning. The consensus was that we'd have to gather here again at a later date to do and see more! Thanks to Jed for hosting us!

'Til we meet!

Now to the serious stuff! For anyone wishing to become the next Folf World Champion, you'll want to view this instructional video, introducing the sport of frisbee golf:

Hopeful champions will need to adhere to rules deemed acceptable to the group. Bring a frisbee/disc that is fair and equitable and gives no unfair advantage to any one person.

(Loren's note: Craig is reminding us that your frisbee of choice cannot have giant spikes or blades on it like that bad Roman guy Masala had on his chariot when he raced against Charleton Heston in the movie, Ben-Hur. We don't want anyone to get hurt).

We'll eat, play folf, and then head to the movie. Join us later if you can't come earlier. Any ideas on what movie to see? Leave comment on this post or reply to the GoogleGroups e-mail to suggest ideas. Maybe we can put it up for a survey on the blog.

Get out that old dog-chewed frisbee and start practicing!
