Christmas Show Celebration Party

Our annual Christmas show, in which we were ably supported by the guest appearance of the Keene Legion Band, was a considerable success. On the 30th we celebrated with the Band members and our respective families. Alan Treadwell handled the catering, the Band brought drinks, and the Cheshiremen brought desserts. Entertainment was provided by Stateline, Junction 135, the Cheshiremen, and the Band's Dixieland Band. A grand time was had by all.

These pictures are in chronological order as the night progressed. I was trying to get everybody included in at least one picture, but I know I missed a lot of people.

Please add captions for those pictures that don't have them, and add descriptions identifying people, as there are lots of people whose names and affiliations I don't know. (You'll get the chance to add info when you look at the enlarged images.)
