Loveland, Colorado Tall Tales and Soup Swap

Instead of sticking to drawing numbers out of a hat or pot for the soup picking order, the tennis club of Loveland, Colorado went for the high entertainment value of giving the person with the best "telling of the Soup" tall tale the first pick.

What the second best story get? Well, they got the second pick. This would leave folks with mundane stories very last in soup drawing order. Wow! Harsh and Intense! In our crowd, we'd have to compete with interpretive dance, music on tin pipes, and bawdy jokes just to have a chance to draw some soup.

Oh the humanity!

Loveland, Colorado: Brave souls.

Jo writes of their swap this Saturday, "Our group of 8 shared their tall tales in the form of poetry, prose and stories. And the soups are terrific!"

We hope we'll see them again during the National Soup Swap 2009!
