Love Is In The Air - February 3, 2017

Greetings Pubbers,

Love is in the air!!

I know it is a cliche, but it is true. Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I believe some love poetry is in order. So let's see what we have come up with for you this month.

Everyone grab your drink and get settled in, we will start with announcements.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Let's start off with the winner of our January 2017 contest, "Our Pub"! I believe our first contest was a wonderful success and we had some extraordinary entries. A big round of applause for everyone who entered.

Make Yourself at Home - by - MichaelTyger

This poem truly captures the essence of what the Pub is and paints a beautiful picture of how it might look.
