On October 24, 2009, a number of the Ladybirds and several guests traveled to Somerset County to attend the Annual Roof Garden Chorus Barbershop Show at the local senior high school—matinée showing.

The group arrived at the Eat ‘n Park Restaurant for lunch before going over to the barbershop show, a routine they have followed for a number of years, actually.

This show marked the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Roof Garden Chorus, and their mission is to provide wholesome musical entertainment for the citizens of Somerset County.

There were fourteen people who attended the annual summer picnic held at Betty Twigg’s home on September 3, 2009. The event was a potluck dinner and fun for all. People began to arrive around 5 p.m., loaded with goodies for the feast. There were green salads, cole slaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, carrot/raisin salad, fried chicken, meatballs, spaghetti, mini sandwiches, and fruit tray; desserts were very delectable and included heart smart cake, chocolate/peanut butter birthday cake for the Ladybirds, pina colada cake for all the lushes in the crowd, chocolate and peanut butter fudge, donuts, peach/apple/blueberry cobbler, and key lime pie. There could well have been more, but that’s all this writer can recall at this point.

At the last moment, Joan Ralston discovered that there was a benefit dinner and barbershop concert to be held on March 12th at Martinsburg, Pennsylvania. She called around to members of the Ladybirds and Ellie communicated to those who can receive email to notify them that practice that Thursday night (03-12) would be canceled because a fair number of ladies expressed interest in attending the event, which was to benefit the Memorial Park, the site of the dinner/entertainment.

The pre-arrangements for the party were made by Earlene Fradiska, and the ladies had a choice of several entrees. The various selections were excellent. People particularly enjoyed the coconut custard pie for dessert. The restaurant was festively decorated for the Christmas season, and everyone loved seeing Hobo’s tree and Santa with his wonderful sleigh!
