Report from 2008 Burgoo
The soup was the world's best, once again! It was great to see so many friends and family and to meet some new friends. If you'd like to share your experience from the 2008 Arenzville Burgoo, please add a comment. Here are two that I received:
From Gary Nelson:
Arenzville class of '58 met at AJ's on 6 Sep to celebrate their 50th. 15 graduated, 2 have passed on (Mike Abernathy and Virgil Dawson) and 13 remain. Nine attended; Erna (Dufelmeier) Gillman, Evelyn (Huppe) Thompson, Barbara (Kleinschmidt) Beard, Barbara (Schnitker) Hymes, Ed Dober, Gary Nelson, Mike Schnitker, Jim Shannon and Joe Stinson. Several spouses (Dave Thompson, Dotty Schnitker, Marcy Shannon and Linda Stinson) were also in attendance as well as Erna's daughter, Darwin. Burlene (Taylor) Nickel and her husband Jim were also in attendance. Burlene started with our class in 1955, but Jim married her before she could graduate. We still consider her part of our class. Jim and Marcy Shannon traveled the most miles to attend, coming from Davis, California. Barb Beard walked one block. A good time was had by all and plans are underway to meet again during Burgoo 2010. Those who could not make this event, Roberta (Hierman) Elmore, Jean (Saylor) Moss, Ray Hall and Dale Strubbe have indicated they will mark their calendars for Saturday, 11 Sep 2010.
From Sue Turnbough:
My Sister, Her Husband and myself visted your beautiful town this past weekend, to eat and purchase some of your world famous burgoo. We had a wonderful time. My Late Father Joe N. Taylor always loved it. I was hoping to see a cousin of his that lives and use to work at the Burgoo, Albert Taylor son of the late Clyde Taylor. We had to leave before they were selling the T-Shirts. If anyone could send me a address to purchase a couple I would appreciate it.
Thank you for a wonderful time and Great food.

Molly's note: The T-shirt for 2008 is sold out. I have only a few polo shirts and shirts from 2007 remaining. Email me at the webmaster's address (see the bottom of any page on the Arenzville website) for details if you'd like to buy one of these.
