Today was the final Saturday of the Cookie Throwdown 2012 hosted by Mary & the crew. What a wonderful community event… cannot wait until next year.
It also happens to be Mary’s birthday, so the whole group came together and sang Happy Birthday to her. We wish you much happiness and success in the coming year. We all thank you for giving to our community and making it a better place to live.
