Rolfe Sesquicentennial Cookbook

The cookbooks are here! The cookbooks are here!  After many hours of typing and proofreading about 850 recipes, we're excited to actually see the completed books, be able to have one at home and get them out to everyone else too.  We had a "Just Desserts" time Thurs. evening for those that had preordered cookbooks and for others to come to buy them and to sample some desserts from recipes in the cookbook. It was nice.  People came and sampled and visited and looked through the cookbooks together.  Here are a couple of pictures of the cookbook.

The town's Sesquicentennial celebration will be during Greater Rolfe Days in July next year (2013).  These books will be sold until then or when the supply runs out - we ordered 1000.    It's hoped that profit from the sale of these can be used to help with expenses of the celebration next year.  

Two other Rolfe cookbooks have been done in the past - in 1988 and 2002.

This past weekend was Greater Rolfe Days.  Fri. night Bill worked at the water fights at the fire station and I sold cookbooks.  He was in the parade Sat. morning and Camry & I sold cookbooks.  My friend Terri and I sold cookbooks at the rodeo Sat. night.  Sunday morning was the omelet breakfast that the firemen do every year which we both worked at (served 200).

Today was an eye dr. appointment in Ft. Dodge for me.  Bill is moving and leveling dirt where his new building will be.  I'll be in the craft room now for several days working on cards and projects for my stamping weekend with my downline in Peoria, IL in Aug.
