We had a sit-down dinner for 270, with families traveling from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Bermuda, Switzerland, and 10 different states. The traditional feast capped off 36 hours of events: two parent dinners, a development office breakfast, classroom visits, a theatrical performance, two dance performances, a book fair, a jug-band jam session, an international food fair, a tour of the student residence construction site, and of course, a 30 minutes speech by the Hockmeister!
FYI ... our students helped raise 11 free-range birds, baked 77 pies, harvested 110 pounds of potatoes, 55 pounds of squash, and hand picked all the salad greens that we ate today.
