Game Tournament

The 1st Annual Hemenway game tournament was a huge success. We had 22 people competing in both singles and teams competitions throughout the day.

Events included everything from foosball and shuffleboard to Connect 4 and Wii Ping Pong. All of the kids went home with prizes and Anthony proudly wore his new camouflage slippers home in the snow! Congratulation to Shelby for taking home the top prize, a DVD player!

Here is a list of the tournament winners:

Shuffleboard - Matt/Kelly
Foosball - Lois/Abbie
Stick Hockey - Matt/Caroline
Air Hockey - Kyle
Wii Ping Pong - Matt
Connect 4 - TJ
Washers - Anthony/Collin

Sadly, it was reported after the tournament that Kelly did not get a prize :( However, it appears that the satisfaction of winning shuffleboard (and by winning, I mean completely tearing up the competition...) was prize enough for him :)

Blast From The Past

It's amazing what you can find in the church basement. Here is a picture of a Halloween party from way back.

Christmas Parade 2009

I can truly say there has never been as big of a demand at Hemenway for a given video as there was for this one.

Rumors have been circulating regarding apparent "attacks" on Boonville's public law enforcement officials during the Christmas parade in past years, and the possible involvement of the youth at Hemenway.

In order to determine exactly what has been going on, a group of brave adults (including several Session members) agreed to ride along on the float this year, and secretly recorded the events of this year's parade.

The video speaks for itself - you will see the adults working tirelessly to control the out-of-control youth on the float. Our sincere thanks goes out to these brave adults who risked life and limb to gather this footage.
