Rucker's Tavern Tales: Witch Way is Which

Ever since Hector was a pup there has been a Ladies Social at the OVPR ‘Vous on Saturday at noon. It’s a Hoot. The ladies all put on their best attire and sashay over to the Tavern where Hootie Owl serves up his finest concoctions while Dulcimer Dave, the Preacher and sometimes various other instrumentalists provide the music.

But this is not the only Hen Party at the OVPR. One group of women in particular has hosted an Afternoon Tea around noon on Friday for several years now. It hasn’t been held every Vous. Sometimes the weather hasn’t been accommodating and sometimes the Four Hosts haven’t all been there to well host things. But it generally happens and it certainly happened at the Fall 2013 OVPR.
