Here
we go again this year! The afternoon filled with laughter, energy, and of
course,
plenty of good food for everyone at the good old Kabuto South,
Richmond. Two hundred fifty-nine (259) participants gathered around and enjoyed watching and challenging the
traditional mochi-tsuki ritual and the fun-filled party. The climax is
always the raffle time. A great way to celebrate the arrival of the new year!
