The meatball is still cooking, moving along. It is getting dark and we are firing up the lights and heaters to keep warm. But still having fun even though it is a little chilly.

The Quest Begins

2010-03-13T11:02:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone,
Our quest will begin at 7:30 am at Fawn River meats on Sunday morning. I will be posting videos every hour to hour and a half to this blog to allow you to follow. I will also be answering any questions and responding to comments to this blog. We will be at Glen Oaks Community College from 9am Sunday until serving time on Monday at 4pm. So this is going to be a marathon experience but still a lot of fun. Please join us in our momentous occasion with our "Quest for the World's Largest Meatball".
