       The Crimson
      Crones’ 10th Annual Sandie Heinz Spring Fling held at the beautiful Persimmon
      Golf Club in Gresham and hosted by Jean Mounsey and Jackie
      Nicolay on March 16 was a huge success.  The theme was Carnival/Circus
      Time.  Queen Jill opened the event explaining how the Spring
      Fling came to be 10 years ago.  
       
      Games
      played were Fish and Clown Toss along with a Fortune Teller. 
      There were prizes for everyone. 
      
       
      The 3
      categories this year were Best Overall Outfit representative of our
      theme (lady in the tall yellow hat), Most Creative (the giraffe
      outfit) and Most Outrageous (cleaning lady with the bucket). 
      Prizes won were 2 watches with necklace and earrings and a beautiful
      blingy necklace.
      
       
      Everyone
      loved Fishing.  It reminded them of their grade school days. 
      The Clown Toss was a little bit harder but the remaining prizes
      were passed around after the event.  A long line formed to get our
      fortunes told.  There was also a spot to take your pictures by
      sticking your head through the clown’s heads.
      
       
      Each
      table had multi colored napkins and balloons along with a cookie jar that
      was passed on to one lady at each table.  Fresh popcorn was the party
      favor of the day.
      
       
      B.J.
      Schmeltzer came as a cleaning lady with her mop and passed out candy
      to everyone.  She was hilarious.
