Everyone who came to
eat, could cast a vote on
the best decorated table.
Votes were tabulated by
a person not connected to
the chamber. Results were
very close. Criteria to win
the award was based on
the table decor, not the
food. Champion’s table
was colorfully displayed
with a Palm Tree center-
piece made of pineapple.
Each of the tables had a
story and were unique
in design.. All the eater
ies were given a hardy
applause for their varied
taste sensations.
It was noted at the
end of the evening, only
Roberta and Crawford
County businesses were
used in the purchase of
the gift basket which was
