The chapter and chorus meet  every Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. at the First Methodist Church Activity Center
on the corner of Poyntz and  6th Street, Manhattan, Kansas.

     Once again, lunch at the Nanninga Estates on Sunday, July 22, capped the season of summer church performances.  After a whirlwind tour of Marshall  and Nemaha counties and performances in 11 churches, the convoy of cars, carrying hungry and thirsty barbershoppers and spouses, rolled into Terry and Karen’s driveway ready to settle down for a delicious lunch.

     There was no doubt in anyone’s mind about whether they had found the Nanninga’s’ residence.  In the meadow, appropriately dressed and obviously “on pitch” stood a handsome barbershop quartet.  The quartet, an arch with the name “NANNINGA” spelled out in large wooden letters, and Karen’s traditionally beautiful, abundant flower gardens made it perfectly clear that the choristers had arrived at the

correct destination.

     As advertised, pulled pork sandwiches were the main entrée.  The sandwiches, however, were only the beginning of a buffet line that included potato salad, baked beans and several other salads.  And, as usual, the dessert table was overflowing with cakes, pies, cookies and brownies.

      Finally, what picnic lunch would be complete without homemade vanilla ice cream?  If you missed seeing the device consisting of an electric motor, drive belts and gear boxes that Terry and Dreda Smith used to turn the freezer, be sure to request a repeat performance sometime in the near future.  (I can envision more homemade ice cream being a perfect addition to the cookies at any one of our Thursday evening meetings).           Continued on page 3
