Long Creek Masonic Lodge #205

A new record!  A complete sell out in two and a half hours.  We knew it was going to be a busy day when the drive thru line was swamped 10 minutes BEFORE opening at 4:00pm and never let up.  Shortly after 4pm the inside dining room became standing room only with patrons sitting outside, on the doorsteps, in the grass and anywhere else they could find a place to sit.  By, 6pm, the cooks knew it was inevitable.  By 6:30pm…SOLD OUT!

Check out the pictures from this years sell out crowd.  Bad economy? Not a Long Creek!

Our Eastern Star chapter held the officers installation Saturday, March 28.  The installation was open to the public and was well attended by both families and members of surrounding OES Chapters.  A reception followed the event.
