On Jan. 30, the community center at Grand Horizons was filled to capacity with approximately 160 residents enjoying a pulled-pork dinner that consisted of a delicious sandwich with baked beans, Cole slaw and a cupcake.

The pork was donated by the Bahrs. The cooks that prepared the pork were Newt’s nephew, Kevin Bahr, and Newt’s son-in-law, Marty. They did a terrific job, and everything was done to perfection.
Kevin runs the air conditioning and gas, while Marty runs the aluminum. Kevin is quoted as saying, “We have a lot of business from the residents of Grand Horizons, and it is time for us to do something special for them.”
Brian Heidman hosted this event and set up the chairs, and for a crowd this size, it was some job. The head chefs were Andy and Margaret Castonguay, while they also had plenty of help. Their helpers were Pauline and Jack Gadbois, Fred and Pat Mengel, and Ron and Joyce Bell. John Benfield said grace before dinner, and then we all had a delicious meal.

Twenty-six women gathered at Piccola’s Italia Restaurant on Feb. 2 This outing was hosted by Robbie Lockard, and what a fine job she did. Everyone in attendance met at the community center to discuss future luncheons and to make sure everyone had a ride. There was much talking before the meal came. After the meal, some people went straight home, while others went to Lakeland for some shopping.
Thanks go to Robbie for arranging this outing.
