Torsk Work Weekend 6
October 20-22, 2000
This work weekend was a great success! We accomplished all we set out to do, and more. For a list of items, scroll down below the image links. The pictures from the weekend are divided up by day, to keep the loading time down. Take a look and see what we did !!
We had 48 people attending, some new and many old faces. It was a great time! A big thanks goes to everyone who came and worked their butts off. A special thanks goes to Scott Armstrong, our museum rep, for his time and efforts to support our work
weekend.
