jscheib Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Wow! Congratulations to Rick and his Jewell crew.That was a wonderful event. And we were to late to get the apple pie and ice cream. Our fault for delaying.This will be a challenge for Minuteman to match with the lobster/clambake, no??? I do not know if Massachusetts gives such an award.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Stoneberg Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) When I first started plannng the event in Ames, I knew I wanted a corn boil. I grew up in the midwest, on a farm and I remember our church putting them on.Jewell exceeded my wildest expectations with their event.Rick and his town did and outstanding job of turning my idea into reality and they deserve this award.For those of you who did not go, you missed a hell of an event and one future events will be measured against. Participants had fun, Buicks were driven to Jewell and the people of Jewell had fun.. what more can you ask for ?They even had Rhubarb pie...

Guest wildcat465 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Congrats!Well deserved, the other "towns" never had a chance. By far, the most fun I had last summer. Although, I am kind of a boring guy. Great food, many wonderful people, awesome entertainment. No doubt this event blew the others away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
