WHAT A DAY!
After a stormy night, the weather had a rather miraculous mood swing at 7 a.m. Rainwater drained from booth roofs. Mass was celebrated. Schoolkids paraded. Live music entertained. Kids rode rides, lost their lunch (and cotton candy and sno-cones and pretzels ...), and went back for more. Ring-a-Bottle cleared its inventory. Ted Drewes sold out. Chicken Dinners sold out. Chuck Wagon sold out. States Game did 20 nationwide tours. Beer and margaritas flowed plentifully. Alumni reunited. Luck was chucked. And the energy was electric.
Thank you to our tireless chairs Angie & Eric McMahon, their trusty co-chairs Colleen & Richie Nigro, our sponsorship chair Gina Joly, treasurer Linda Seemiller and her band of non-stop money-counters, superman-electrician Jay Henricks, our dozens of booth chairs and their volunteers, and all who helped with setup and cleanup. It was a most wonderful day.
Next week we will share a photo album and spotlight our sponsors.
