Kathy Hansens' 50th Surprise Birthday
| Following are a few photos taken on Saturday March 9 at a surprise 50th
birthday party for Kathy (her birthday was March 7). It took an elaborate, devious scheme (genius as
some said) to get her to Big Horn Cinema in Cody to "win a movie trivia
contest." Neil "entered" Kathy in the fake movie trivia contest
weeks before to get her inside the theater on her way to pick up Eric from the
Cody airport. Eric was scheduled to have already arrived the night before
to surprise her at the party, but his plane was delayed and he spent two days in
Denver before getting home! To view a copy of the fake movie trivia contest letter
I sent to Kathy
click here. To view the fake trivia contest
questions that were included click here. Kathy spent a
lot of time on the internet finding answers to these and had them all filled out and
typed! For those of you who know how much she loves movies (don't bet
against her!) and what she would do to win something for her family you will
understand how this fell into place. |
The moment of Truth!
She still can't believe it!
Now she likes Neil, on the drive over to Cody she was not
quite so happy with my slow driving!! To keep her from getting there
too early Neil had to fake diarrhea!!
The tears of joy & surprise keep flowing

Everyone watching the movie
Movie titles - we saw the Count of Monte
Cristo
The movie theater manager, Tony, who "opened"
20 minutes before the 11:00 am posted time, much to Kathy's furious response
(there was already a "line").
