8th Annual Bowden Bowl Bash

After a brief hiatus, the Bowden Bowl Bash was back in business!  Penn State played on December 27th in the Pinstripe Bowl against Boston College, winning in a nail-biting overtime.  Nana was the second person to attend a BBB in two states.  After the party, she said we had such nice friends.  No matter how old you are, it always feel good to know your mom likes your friends!

Bowden Bowl Bash- January 2, 2012

Our 7th Annual Bowden Bowl Bash was the 2012 TicketCity Bowl.  Penn State played Houston, and the game was not pretty.  We had a great turn-out in our new place, and we even had one returning friend from South Carolina!  Greg's friend Kathleen from his days at DNLCC had moved to DC a few years ago, so she made the trip up.  We also had my high school friend Michele (a Penn State alum) for the party.  We had around 35 guests, so next year, Greg will be making a lot of t-shirts!  I spent most of the time in the kitchen, as USC was playing Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl.  While Penn State wasn't able to pull out a victory, the Gamecocks did a great job, winning 11 in 2011!

Bowden Bowl Bash- January 1, 2011

Gene, Nana & Aunt Kathe under the FatHead. 
Thankfully, the curse of the FatHead was broken last year!

Our 6th Annual Bowden Bowl Bash once again took place on January 1, 2011.  Since the the event is centered around Penn State's Bowl game, we never quite know when the party will be . . . only that Penn State will make it to a Bowl!!  It was Penn State vs. Florida, so we knew the Gergicks would be a family divided!  Nana came decked out in her Penn State socks, and lots of new folks were t-shirt eligible this year.  Our list of "AABBB," that's At All Bowden Bowl Bashes," stands at Robert, Richard & Ron.  Next year's party will involve a little traveling for some attendees!    

Nathan & Steve were pulling for the Gators.  Robert brought some delicious chili.  Christina & Tara were the proud owners of new BBB t-shirts, but this was Catherine's first year, so she has to wait!

Emily's friends Sarah & Caroline are tshirt eligible, but we ran out of their sizes!
They are waiting patiently . . .

Lucy, Judy and Lauren pulled for Penn State!

5th Annual Bowden Bowl Bash- January 1, 2010

The Fathead Curse was broken on January 1, 2010 at the 5th Annual Bowden Bowl Bash! Penn State beat LSU in a nail-biter of a game. We had a great time with family and friends, and we look forward to Penn State's 2010 season.
