How wonderful the tradition continues! My dad, John McNeilly, loved the Wassail Bowl and would be so happy that it continues! And the amount of money raised is wonderful! My nephew is now the owner of the red vest….maybe he will wear it this Christmas and drink some “wassail”!
Chuck you bring back memories. My dad, Howard, would receive his invitation and we never really knew what happened at the Wassail Bowl. All I remember he was in a mellow mood after it. Safe travels!
Fabulous, Chuck! Other than the gender segregation, which is tolerated in moderation (ribbing you a little and understood) this is a wonderful tradition! Thanks for sharing this hometown story.

Great story, Chuck. Gotta say - I’m more than a little envious of your wonderful traditions. Good for you!
Remembering Bob Tyson. Now there was a good soul. A great report from Southwest Iowa!
