Memorial Day at Winslow 2008
Well here we are again at the beginning of a fun summer of boating and other activities that we all liked to do during the summer. As in the past we are going to have some great meals prepared for all to enjoy. Pancake Breakfasts, BBQ dinners and of course hamburgers and Hot Dogs. I know that all of us growing up had a lot of fond memories of things we liked to do during the summer months. Some liked to go camping, boating, road trips in the back seat of the family car, hitting our brother or sister. Then having dad say “he didn’t want to have to pull the car over”. Oh, the fun times. Well we are going to try and have a little fun this weekend. On Saturday, Mark LaFontaine is having the first day of the World Renowned Semi Annual Horse Shoe Contest. During Dinner you with be entertained by the QCYC Dancers with Guest appearances of the Big Kahuna Dancers. Around 8 PM Beach Blanket Bingo will start with lots of prizes. So dig out some old beach blankets. Sunday morning starts with, what else, Ron Rolstad’s World Famous Omelets. At 1:00 The Beach fashion contest starts. There will be prizes for the Best and Ugliest Aloha shirts and or beach wear. Now these may be one in the same depending the judges. Also Sunday will be day 2 of the horse shoe contest, so start practicing. Sunday night is a little up in the air depending on the weather. We have received permission to have fire on the beach to have a sing along. If it is raining, It will be “SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES” Popcorn and soft drinks for all.
Monday, Memorial Day, we will take time out to observe and reflect on the many who have given there lives so that we may enjoy a wonderful weekend like this. We will also note the passing of dear friends, husbands and wives that we have all met along the way. Capt. Klett will again do us the honor of presiding over these ceremonies.
Then it is time to say goodbye for a short time or until our paths cross. Have a safe and fun boating season at least till “Closing Day”
