~The Oldoki Jatea (Blood Sausage Dinner) was held March 2nd, at the St. Vincent's Benvegnu Center. Thanks to Jean Flesher and everyone who helped make the sausage, cook, serve, set up and clean up! This year we had visitors from Buffalo, Wyoming, providing entertainment after dinner. We were the first stop on their tour of Basque communities. They were very talented and engaged the group in song and dance!
