Last month’s devastating ice storm was hardly a cause for celebration, but that’s what some storm survivors are doing.

Randolph, N.H. residents organized a “We Survived” party at the Town Hall for Saturday night. Guests at the potluck dinner were asked to bring $2 along with their casseroles to help the town buy emergency equipment for the town.

Becky Parker and Sara Glines came up with the idea for the party. The sisters say they were touched by the many acts of kindness they saw that week and wanted to show their appreciation.

Some Randolph residents went without power for six days, but residents say they made it through with a lot of help from their neighbors.
