They have one every year, but this was the first time we attended. I brought for my gift an entire case of Moon Pies. Nobody seemed to want them. I was a bit annoyed; I thought Moon Pies would make a *great* gift! Finally, someone stole them, and he got to keep them. I guess he was the only one there who liked Moon Pies.
