LEAD IN


Big fun is scheduled for the Sun Maid KC shows in February. George Milutnovich reports that he and his wife, Cathy, are planning a Mardi Gras bash on February 17 to honor TTL's 30th anniversary. Details below.



**********



The annual TTL Christmas party at Eastern was it's usual success. This year's dinner was dedicated to Pat Laurans. Many thanks to all, including John and Andrea Ashby for donating the Santa photos. Scroll down for pics including the surprise visit from the Grinch - who knew Alex Wheeler was so multi-talented!


And, the Orlando booth did a brisk business. Special shout-out to Rachel and Pete Irvin, East Coast Crates for their generous donation of a crate stack. Many thanks to Randy Garren who held down the fort and to the many others who helped out.



**********



Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Please enjoy the holiday pics of our TTL kids.


Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2023.
