Papa's Market hosted the "umpteenth" annual Skidmore Historical Society dinner Tuesday, December 14th. Jane Nutt was the featured entertainment for the evening. Her vocal performance of Silent Night was a real treat, especially for those of us who never before heard her sing. Dick Segelkin was also called upon to read a poem about the true meaning of Christmas. Fellow society member Betty Strong cooked up a feast for the occasion featuring turkey and dressing, a spiral cut ham, yams, fruit salad, and a large selection of desserts. At least one of the assembled diners missed sampling the desserts after overindulging in Mrs. Strong's wonderful, raisin and pecan dressing. Special thanks to the staff of Papa's Market for assisting in preparation and presentation of the the dinner, and to Carol Dubois for the use of her decades-old but still quite attractive table decorations.
