Another Fletcher Field treat
I went into the weekend feeling somewhat uneasy and nostalgic, but went to bed Sunday thinking nothing but happy thoughts.
Everything went great for Sunday's Treats 'n Trunks at Fletcher Field: The weather was perfect; the turnout (at least 150) was terrific; the kids, all us really, had a wonderful time.
Nearly the entire park side of Mt. Olivet was parked up from Gilbo to French Road, the vehicles creatively decorated for the season. One featured hippies, peace signs and an advertisement for suspicious brownies. Another posed as a dentist office with human dental floss and the tooth fairy handing out candy. My favorite, a Detroit Public Library book mobile replica, belonged to Bob and Lee (Harding) Walmsley.
Almost 200 hots dogs, 10 gallons of lemonade, four cases of chips and enough candy to put the Tooth Fairy out of business were consumed over the course of 3 1/2 hours. About 20 of us then ran off those extra calories during a touch-football game that ended in a tie and with Jim (Kustarz) Morey limping off the field with an Achilles injury.
At least we avoided any broken bones like we had a year ago, when Mom took a nasty fall and fractured an elbow. She managed to stay on her feet Sunday and took a ton of pictures that will be featured in an audio slide show sometime this week.
Thanks to everybody who supported this event and made the day special for the kids. Special thanks to Dennis Wisniewsk for the pictures featured here.
