| Kitchen volunteers
get together for a quick photo at one of the two stations... |
|
...and at the other. |
|
Meanwhile, the grills
are still going... |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
| ...and going... |
|
...as they keep
selling... |
|
...and selling! |
|

| Finally, a short
break for the camera. |

Romanian artifacts, as well as watch a video slide show of photos from
Romania. |

Romania-themed
t-shirts and aprons were also a big hit. |

for another energetic and entertaining performance. |
