NO CAMPFIRES, BUT WE CAN STILL HAVE FUN WITH MUSIC AND FOOD!
SATURDAY - Pool area, 6 – 11 p.m.
POOL PARTY!
6 p.m. Get your HOT DOGS with all the trimmings (fried onions…yum!)– when they’re gone, they’re gone!
6:30 p.m. Bring your chairs, ignore the heat, feel the beat (you might even want to dance!)
PATIO CATS & friends & SUDS
Enjoy fresh-popped popcorn while you hang!
Next weekend: WESTERN DAY –
HORSESHOE TOURNAMENT,
WESTERN MUSIC, CHILI COOKOFF
Coming events: CORN ROAST & CAMPFIRE; BIKE RALLY
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CALLING ALL CHILI COOKS! Let’s put your chili to the test – stop bragging and start sharing! Chop, dice, fry, simmer to your heart’s content and then sit back and let someone else decide whose is the best (and who’s best-dressed).
Register at the Office and pick up 2 lb. of ground beef (add or subtract whatever you like) to get you started on your journey of culinary triumph.
Will Dick Chiasson and Pete Swailes successfully defend their title or will there be new champions to claim the trophy? Only time (and you) can tell! Warm up your throwing arm with a few practice pitches so that you will be ready for the HORSESHOE TOURNAMENT next weekend
