Friday night, 5.10, found Julia and I on our way to New Philadelphia for the 18th Districts Grand High Priest Reception. New Philadelphia is about 70 miles southeast of Medina and take about an hour and 20 minutes. This night was different however. It is an understatement to say it rained! From Barberton to Massillon it rained hard. Then from Massillon to just north of Strasburg it decided to really rain! In Navarre the water was running curb deep across the entire road. After and 1 hour and 50 minutes we arrived in New Philadelphia.
The reception was held a Jim's Place which is next door to the Masonic Temple. It is nothing fancy but it is nice. We had a room up front while in the back a high school prom party was going on.
We had a very nice dinner of salad, roast pork, cooked apples, rice, roasted veggies and carrot cake.
After the dinner we were treated to dulcimer music. The ladies played for about 20 minutes. They talked about the dulcimers which where Mountain Dulcimers rather than the larger Hammered Dulcimer. Two of the dulcimers were made in Newcomerstown. The ladies were quite enjoyable.
After the entertainment District awards were handed out. Julia and I both received gifts from the District and we thank for that.
Once again safe, but wet, traveling, good food and good fellowship.
'til the next time.
