And this Saturday: NOTE THE EARLIER THAN IN THE PAST TIME.
NEW HAMS DINNER! All Hams, keep open Saturday, February 21, for the 
annual New Hams Dinner. This is a traditional Get out of the Cabin 
gathering to have a good time, and make a special welcome to those who 
have acquired a ham ticket in the past year, and hams that have moved 
into the area. For those hams, dinner is on us. Dinner is at Fire 
Mountain Buffet, 3725 Alpine Ave NW (Hwy M-37), Comstock Park, MI 49321. 
Map: http://tinyurl.com/6ulo2d  There is a back entrance off 4 Mile Rd 
just west of Alpine Ave. In order to avoid the Saturday night crowd, 
dinner will be at 2PM to 3:30, so skip lunch and come hungry. Cost is 
$14.50 which includes meal, drink, and gratuity.
