The event included cast members from ’s Animal House with Tim Matheson “Otter” as the Master of Ceremonies and official cake cutter, due to his extensive medical experience. James “Hoover” Widdoes, Peter “Boon” Riegert, Mark “Neidermeyer” Metcalf, James “Greg Marmalard” Daughton and Martha “Babs” Smith also joined the festivities.

Thanks for having us tavern on 🎂
