It was the BEST PARTY EVER.
Our tendency to over do everything seemed to pay off this time. At one point I thought to myself, is there any way that we could ever possibly need 125 corn dogs, and the answer dear friends was in fact, "yes."
Thanks to all those that made it possible.
I'll post pictures when they're developed.
