Today is Super Bowl Sunday and this is the day I'll host the Super Bowl party for the park.
We had 48 sign up to attend. It will be held in the meeting room in the office building where the big screen TV is. My friend Nancy is my partner in this party planning and we were busy pretty much all afternoon setting up tables, moving things out of the way to set up serving tables and then shopping at the Hundred Dollar Store for party supplies and food.
I had asked the RV park to contribute the lunchmeat/cheese platters and they agreed that they would take care of the cost of them. Everyone was asked to bring a dish to share and to also chip in a dollar to cover paper products, condiments and whatever we could buy with any leftover money. Need I tell you Walmart was a ZOO when we went to get our food/supplies?
Let me tell you we had plenty of food!
Somehow I don't think some of the park residents quite "get" the idea of a Super Bowl party. I was under the impression that you came to watch the game, (at the very least the commercials) eat and just have an all around good time! By the end of the first quarter there only about a dozen of us left to watch the game! The residents came, they ate, they left! By halftime we were down to half a dozen to watch the game.
It really didn't matter to us who won since the Eagles weren't in it. We were mostly there for the food and the commercials and the company. Bob did win $25.00 in the football pool.
Next year, when our Eagles are playing, it will be all that more enjoyable!
