Bring your need for competition, good times, food and laughter to the Fellowship Hall on Mar 15 from 10a to 1p. We won’t have torch bearers, medals or a half-time show, but we will have a plethora of appetizers and plenty of games to whet your appetite. There will be a sign up sheet for games and treats.
“CAN’T BAKE, CAN’T SERVE – WHAT DO YOU DO?” [Shout out to Adam Ant] If you can’t do those two things – you can help clean up! The sign-up sheet for Fellowship Hour is in the Fellowship Hall. We are still looking for volunteers to bring food items and if baking isn’t in your skill we always need help with the clean-up process at the end of the event. Our regular ‘do-ers” really could use an assist. Thank you to the Bauers, Don & Pepper, for bringing in yummy treats this past Sunday.

FUN FACT: In preparation for the game on Sunday. And if you haven’t seen the latest Clydesdale commercial, you have to see it. It has an eagle in it. 😊
In April 1933, August A. Busch, Jr. and Adolphus Busch III surprised their father, August A. Busch, Sr., with the gift of a six-horse Clydesdale hitch to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition of beer. Shortly after the hitch was first introduced, the six-horse Clydesdale team increased to eight.
On March 30, 1950 a Dalmatian was introduced as the Budweiser Clydesdales’ mascot.
Each hitch horse will consume as much as 20 to 25 quarts of whole grains, minerals and vitamins, 50 to 60 pounds of hay, and up to 30 gallons of water on a warm day.
Driving the combined 12 tons of wagon and horses requires expert skill and physical strength. The 40 pounds of lines held by the driver plus the tension of the horses pulling creates a weight of more than 75 pounds.
Budweiser Clydesdales reside at the Anheuser-Busch breweries in St. Louis for public viewing. Visitors can also see the Clydesdales up-close at Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville, MO.
Each of the Clydesdales’ handcrafted harnesses and collars weigh approximately 130 pounds.
Budweiser Clydesdales’ horseshoes measure more than 20 inches from end to end and weigh about 5 pounds.
NOTE FROM ANN: Last week I mentioned the ‘cold weather’ experiment Burt and I had tried and how we had not tried the soap bubble one yet. Our resident artist extraordinaire Patty Rasmussen shared her take on the soap bubble experiment. I am continually ‘wow’ed by the talent in this congregration.
Here are some notes, from Patty, on how you can get the best results. A shout out to Joyce Leander as well.
SOAP BUBBLE RECIPE
1-1/2 cups water
1/2 cup Dawn dish soap (I use clear, but blue is fine, too.)
1/4 Light Karo Syrup
or 1/2 recipe:
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup Dawn dish soap
2 TBS Light Karo Syrup
Stir or whisk the three ingredients, and pour into a quart mason jar and cover. Let it rest at room temperature overnight.
To Freeze a Bubble:
Pour an inch or two of the soap solution into a smaller container. The reduced amount helps it to chill outside and also keeps the main mason jar mix from getting contaminated. Get a straw, go outside and blow some bubbles on something–not in the jar! Just dip the end of your straw into the solution, bring it over your intended base, and gently blow a bubble. Once the bubble solution has coated a base like a spot of snow, or an inverted soda can, you can blow bubbles on anything–including pine needles, without popping. The flat round pic is a metal mason jar lid, dunked in the solution, and stood on end in the snow : )
I could help with any questions. Just go and have fun. I almost always do this in our garage because cold temps are plentiful, but we have wind and clouds often. The sun or artificial light help define the crystals, which are best backlit. I learned from experience about light, wind, and temperatures. With single digit temps–the crystals form very fast, with temps in the teens–slower crystal growth, with temps in the low 20’s–slowest growth, but you can still get ice crystals.
If using your mobile phone for pics, backlight the bubble, the camera should be a bit lower and in front of the bubble, tilt and angle up your view to get the ice to shine.
Factoid: Soap bubbles actually have three outer layers–a sandwich of soap, water, soap. It is the water in the middle layer that freezes with ice crystals, not in the hollow middle of the bubble.
Just like eating caramel corn, freezing soap bubbles is addictive. There is always one more design, one more wow, one more surprise : ) Joyce Leander, many years ago, showed me that frozen soap bubbles were a beautiful thing! A type of Northwoods silent sport : )
I love it – a Northwoods Silent Sport!!! Go Team PoP! (That is a perfect name when dealing with bubbles)
