Our Club Run/Hobo Dinner was a cool and overcast day and the first thing on the agenda was to get the fire started for cooking. A few brought their equipment, Joe Laskowski with his interurban. |

 |
Robbi Haines adding more water to the pot which has several hams in it as Edith watches. Frank Foti is seen here taking his engine for a walk. |

Fireside discussions abound with the members trying to keep warm. Now were're talking heat as the wood is really burning hot and the cauldren pot with water is starting to steam. |

Kitty Shriver was selling tickets for the quilt displayed,that was donated by Cathy Porosky and is talking to Ron Trenhaile. Amy at the controls with the family in tow. |

The best place to be with the cold nip in the air was around the pot and keeping the fire going. Clint and Ron listen to Dick as he tells of the modifications he made to add brakes to his train and the controls. |
 |
 |
Bob's Pennsy switcher with the front smoke box cover off getting it ready for a pressure test? The pot has been boiling for several hours and Robbi is checking to see if the last item added, the cabbage, is done. |

Caught Skip Frank in a quiet moment with his grandson, Josh Frank as they wait for suppertime. Bill Deptowicz with his grandson Ethan in the station where it was a little warmer. |

You can bet their backsides were warm in this picture with that roaring fire. While most of us were trying to keep warm by the fire a few were out on the track as this picture shows Dick Phillpott coming into the station. |
