Tonight's Erie Club meeting was Casino night. You paid $5 for $500 of play money, then played blackjack, Texas hold-em, roulette, chuck-a-luck and roll three to increase your stake for cash prizes at the end. It was fun even though I didn't play and Alesa didn't even go.

Tonight was Smith's hot dog night at the Erie Club meeting. We had an unbelievable crowd of 160 people, biggest ever and we had to scramble to fit them all in.. We have the dogs shipped down and grill them in the parking lot and people enjoy and socialize.
