We enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Saint Valentine's Dinner! Pettisville Meats catered pork loin for the main dish. Mr. and Mrs. Hamman were our longest married couple, and cut the cake for us. The night was filled with fellowship, love, games, some great door prizes, and a few laughs! Be sure to join us next year!
