Hump Nite - 2012

The long-standing tradition has kicked off it's 15th year. 

For those that are unaware of the tradition, Hump Nite was the inspiration of Bob Frederick, a long time bartender of 30 years at the Rainbow, and Roger Gibson, Bob's lover at the time who has subsequently passed away.  Bob and Roger wanted to do something at the Rainbow that would bring out the community in the dead of winter.  Roger suggested a mid-week potluck, and the tradition was born.  Each week carries a theme, and everyone is encouraged to bring out a dish to share.  At the end of the meal, people vote for the best entree and dessert, and prizes are awarded.  The Finale caps off the Hump Nite festivities with a return of the weekly winners going head to head.  This year's finale is March 21st, and it promises to be a lot of fun.

This is a wonderful community event.  The amount of energy and love that is put into each of the dishes is amazing.  And you don't have to bring a dish in order to enjoy the fun.  Every cook just likes to see lots of people enjoying their food, so don't let them down.  Come out and enjoy the fun.
