A first time event for local Masons was an unexpected success.
Last Friday, the Columbia City Masons, Larwill Masons, South Whitley Masons, Order of the Eastern Star and their families and friends gathered at the Columbia City Masons Lodge on Chicago Street in Columbia City for a Christmas party and dinner.
Joan Simon was among those who helped to plan the event and said she was quite pleased with the outcome.
“We had a good turnout for this being a first-time event,” said Simon. According to Simon, they set up the event, which included a carry-in dinner, for 60 people and ended up having 104 people in attendance.
