On Sunday, 12/03/23 100 plus OSDA Members signed up for the Annual ‘After the Parade’ Holiday Party. Due to rain, OSDA members did not walk in the parade. To get things started our President Jay Thayer welcomed all. Jay thanked our hosts Dorrie and Greg Ketterer for their hospitality and for allowing us to hold the party at Shoreway Acres. The theme of the parade was Christmas through the Decades. ShoreWay provided a similar theme ‘Dishes of the Decades’. We enjoyed Chowder, Waldorf Salad, Swedish Meatballs, Pigs in a Blanket, Green Bean Casserole and a Baked Potato Bar with multiple toppings. We had a basket of retro candies and multiple sweet treats.
We’d like to thank the local businesses who provided door prizes for our guests. Below is a list of the company and the individuals who were lucky enough to receive a gift.
