Hello All, I took a stroll over to the Grange hall last Saturday to check out the bread and soup luncheon that was sponsored by the friends of the Norwich Public Library. I paid my admission and walked around and tried a few of the soups. My favorite was the seafood chowder, followed by the Gypsy vegetable and the Mexican vegetable. After sampling those, I had all I could do to eat a chocolate chip cookie. It was a fun event and for a good cause. Enjoy the photos and the story.
