From mnhoundage at hotmail.com Tue May 6 12:36:29 2008 From: mnhoundage at hotmail.com (mnhoundage at hotmail.com) Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 12:36:29 -0500 Subject: [mnbasset-announce] Food for the Basset Specialty - June 6 Message-ID: Dear fellow drool-addicts, As most of you already know, in only a month now the day will be here for our special hounds to show off for the world. What do we like almost as much as trophies and colored ribbons? We like food! Here I am once again to beg your assistance (good thing I've learned from expert beggars, huh?) in making our hospitality table as special as the show itself. If you possibly can, would you volunteer to bring an item from one of the following categories? Beverages - water or soda Snacks - chips, dips, crackers etc. Bread/buns Meat/cheese Fruit/veggies Desserts Condiments Also, would any of you who have room, please bring a cooler with ice? If it's a warm day, we need to keep some of these goodies chilled. Please let me know as early as possible what you plan to bring as I'll need to maintain a balance. Great as they are, we don't want nothing but chips, do we? Thanks so much for helping to make this another special Specialty! Dee ** Please reply to Dee at bunnys_mom at hotmail.com ** for your contributions to the food for the Specialty event!
