WE went on weekend in early summer, weather was perfect, all the vendors out with the fish and fruits and veggies, ate at one of the italian restaurants, great place to go on a nice weather weekend.
Don't forget Molly Hatchett, that was some good country rock. Eagles were technically considered country too back then though they were more mainstream.
Some towns also close down business after a half day on Wednesday. I worked in Webster 20 years ago and I had never heard of a town shutting for a half day, must be for a break halfway through the work week to refresh, not sure if schools closed too but I think they did.
We lost one of the golfers at the course this year when he got stung, he knew he was allergic and couldn't find his epi-pen in time. Too bad he didn't have it in his pocket at all times.
Sorry to hear that, I lost both my parents within the last 10 years and it was a tough time. Remember the good times and it's a natural progression of life. Hope he didn't suffer much.
