| Many people who came to support the Science
Olympiad and Bessemer scouts . There were large
numbers of diners present all morning. The
Scouts and Science usually taking on different
challenges, faced the challenge of feeding a
large contingent of supporters who came to the
five hour fundraiser. As always they
all did a great job including the littlest of
the work force. |

morning. Diners came out to support the young
scientist in spite of the below zero temeratures. |

diners. |
