Title: MW Banquet - how was it?
Post by: TrophyGal on January 09, 2011, 11:15:49 AM
Just wondering how everything went at the Mid-West banquet last night .. what's the scoop?

Good attendance?  Everybody have fun?

I would have liked to hear the Mr. Potatohead speech!  :boink:

The turn out seemed nice to me... but this was my first time.
I won the "on the gas" award and was completely unprepared to say a proper thanks.
I have had more fun this year than I can remember.
Thanks to all that make these events happen!

Everyone fess up for those not in attendance.

Who got the Potatohead and why? Any good post banquet stories?

Sorry we weren't there, it's been a trying few weeks.
We've been slammed and then there was some family stuff that happened, so I barely got grocery shopping in for the week.
I was really torn between partying with my peeps and getting some sleep. Getting sleep won out. (Yeah, I'm getting old I guess)

Congrats to all the trophy winners!

Is it legal to give it back to yourself?  :wtf:  :biggrin:

He probably told the story well. Sorry I missed it.

Rules say you can give it to the person who in your mind most deserves it. He did however bestow the job if giving it away next year to Jason Farrell so Jason has Mr. Potato Head to display at the shop and will get to choose the recipient next year.

Good times!  My first banquet and I enjoyed it.  It was good to see everyone and catch up.  Next year, reserve a few more tables.  We couldn't really hear because we were seated up stairs.

That Greeny guy is funny when slightly buzzed :)
