Thanksgiving at Midland:
Thank you to all families and friends who
joined us for an enjoyable Thanksgiving Day!
We had just over 450 people in attendance,
and ate an entire meal made from scratch
with most items coming from our garden. Good
food, good company, and good entertainment
with a performance of O Brother, Where Art
Thou?
