Soup at Six: "The McKinley Years"

Chris did a great job last night at his Soup at Six program on "The McKinley Years"!

We had stuffed pepper soup, which every on seemed to enjoy, and of course bread baked on the open hearth by Chris!

oplAnd judging my the many questions at the end of the program, everyone enjoyed Chris's program too!

Here are some photos of the evening, followed by some video clips:


Chris wore McKinley's trademark scarlet carnation.


The crowd was very interested in what Chris had to say.


Here are some video clips of the program:


Chris compares the challenges President McKinley faced when taking office to President Obama's challenges today.
