The Lodge held the Annual Masons at Work Picnic on June 10th at the Midvale Bowery. Attendance was very good we had the pleasure of spending time with right around 79 adults and 7 younger children, R.W. Moore, Bethel 16 and Bethel 5 were all well represented.

Three legged races, tug o war, sack races and bocce ball were opening acts for the main events of bingo and mush ball. The results of the mush ball competition was the Master Counselor and the Honor Queen working together to present the Mush Ball annual trophy to the Worshipful Master for the first year. Way to go teams, everyone played hard and had fun. Although I think the lodge better watch out next year. The young folks want that trophy!

I want to thank everyone who helped make this picnic a success for us. This includes our Stewards, who did the majority of the cooking, Dave Birch’s son Steve (who sacrificed his goatee to our cause and learned a good safety lesson about mixing gel and liquid starter fluids) and all those who either donated prizes or helped to set up, clean up and keep activities flowing.

As noted in our last Lodge meeting we will be renovating sections of the Lodge room while we are dark. We are planning at least one full day that will include a lunch for all those helping to improve the building. Information will be sent out later.
