The LORD detests lying lips, but He delights in men who are truthful. ~ Proverbs 12:22
On Thursday the 22nd, there was such ‘nothing of note’ that I can’t even remember what wasn’t noteworthy. I think we did laundry, but that might have been on Friday . . .
However, on Friday, we ventured into town. I’d read in a brochure provided by the campground that there was a Potato Feast (lobster included) running today and tomorrow, but no one seemed to know anything about it. Very weird! Blaine went to get his haircut and the barber knew nothing. I went to the office and all they could tell me was that the lobster dinner started at 4:30pm today and would be sold until the lobster was gone. I found a little something on-line from a couple of years ago that told what was served with the $10 lobster dinner and that the 265 lobsters were donated by a couple of companies. It also said that 3,000 people attended this shindig. So how come no one knows anything about it? We even discovered a flyer at the trail head we did today that said it was their 60th annual event! Very, very weird!
So anyway, we went to town about 1:30 with plans to find a parking spot, walk around their historic district, check out the 3-mile in-town trail and get in line for dinner.
We did everything except dinner.
We were finished with everything by 3:15pm and decided to go home and have leftovers instead. There was nothing else going on – no festival, no groups of people to watch, nothing. And the doll parade didn’t start until 5:30pm. What do you suppose a doll parade would look like?
Back to our arrival in town.
We were surprised to see how historic the downtown area was! Very nice, and some fantastic brickwork on the buildings too.
The brick work on these buildings was incredible!
where the festivities were supposed to occur.
The Park seemed waaaay too small to host even 200 for dinner, let alone 3,000,
and nothing was happening except a food truck with a sign that said,
“All cheeseburgers are served with Velveeta”.
I didn’t take any pictures. : )
Where’s the Moose lodge??
The trail we were on is fairly new. Blaine said he read that it just opened in June. It was nice too, but we didn’t do it all. The second half of the loop appeared to go through woods and up and down hills. I’m still only wearing sandals. They’re not hiking shoes. Plus, we were wearing our ‘go to town’ clothes. The part we walked was really nice, and flat, and alongside the river. And there were a few more information boards! So we got to read some additional history as well!
Lots of information, and much of it was vey interesting!
by the surge of European Americans.
And even more surprising? All the windows remain intact.
Well. Sort of. : )
Do you think it should be a little bigger? : )
So we ended up walking about 3 ½ miles, and it was just a little too much for my injury. I had to go home and put my foot up for a while. Not bad though. My toe seems to be healing very well. Thank You, Father!!
