Second Logging Camp Christmas a Success

The sold-out Logging Camp Christmas captured the hearts and imagination of 140 guests the last day of November 2012. Diners donned their plaids and suspenders. Decorations by No Place Like Home Again transformed Backus Community Center into a logging camp. Camp Cook Cynthia Warren cooked a hearty three-course meal served by fourteen singing waiters. Entertainment was provided by Jessie Laurion and friends, including the Northwoods Combo of Effie. Entertainers performed songs and skits. Guests contributed to live and silent auctions and raffles, with gift items supplied by scores of area residents and businesses. Surprise visitors included Paul Bunyan, Babe and Santa Claus.
