WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE
There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of soup with a view of the Restigouche River . .

Restigouche held their first ever Soup Fest on Monday, March 19, at the Campbellton Curling Club. Thank you to Joanne Currie, initiator, organizer, cookie of sooo many things including soup, bread and a variety of homemade cookies. She was joined by quite a good number of retirees who made soup, bread and fudge, helped with the setup, warmed up soup and carried out duties in the kitchen. Many steps were made up and down stairs from the kitchen to the dining area!! And let’s not forget the clean up. I saw elbows disappearing into large pots in hot soapy water and was impressed by those who skillfully loaded the commercial dishwasher. A most talented group!! Thanks also to the Curling Club for allowing us to use their facility.
With bellies seemingly full, everyone participated in the “mixers” of enjoyable games. The concentration and laughter must have helped to settle the stomach, at least enough to allow for the consumption of just a few more cookies. Many left with soup, bread and cookies to enjoy the next day.
Looks like a wonderful time was had by all. Always a good time when sharing food and laughter with fellow retirees.
