The 2009 Not-So-Newlywed Game fund raiser was once again a huge success. Held August 7th at the Landers Theater, the game raises money to help OCC provide counseling services to those in need. This year’s couples were Norm and Nadine Ridder, Doug and Lisa Pitt, Larry and Merrilyn Ellison, Shacar and Debbie Tauber, and Paul Blissard & Kristi Perryman. The Grand Prize this year went to Doug and Lisa Pitt. Host Jeff Jenkins, Executive Director of the Skinny Improv, kept the crowd rolling with laughter. Preliminary entertainment was provided by the New Creole Jazz Band. Make plans now to attend next year’s event, in August 2010.
