I have to ask,
It's been bugging me for a few weeks.

What the heck is a Calcutta, besides the old name of a city in India???????

All the Calcutta tickets were sold. The food was great, many people going up for seconds. The fire Dept. made a little over $4000.00. Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who bought a ticket.
