The group spent a hald day sharpening, polishing, painting and cleaning every inch of the facility and tools. Their efforts will help set the stage for a succesful start to the 2017 project season!
Octoolberfest 2016 also hosted are first ever VOC Crew Chef cook off, with seven of our Crew Chefs putting in entries. Each received a brand new VOC Apron for participating and Tim Zvada took home top bragging rights with his dutch oven mexican lasagna.
Successes and Challenges: Too many people, not enough work.
Lessons Learned: Cut numbers by 15 in 2017 to account for about this many people who will just show up.
