THIRD ANNUAL DRUNKEN CHICKEN DINNER
The third annual drunken chicken dinner was held at
the Houston Homestead in downtown Rocky Point. I

SUV. It belonged to Barb and Gary who had driven
the PigAulds to the festivities. Ah we were very
glad to have this mystery cleared up. Now it was
time to begin the drinking. Grab a beer, sit by

the minutes will reflect the memories of this
auspicious occasion.

happy expectation of the meal that would soon be
before us. The birds, with the cans up their
little bums were cooking on the BBQ while a few of
