I have been busy with Musky Fest activities. MF is the second largest event of the year. (The cross country ski race is the biggest.) I attended the Musky Queen pageant. Shopped 6 blocks of vendor booths. Ate brats. Rode in the Musky Fest parade. Musky is short for the largest game fish in the US - the Muskellunge - that is prevalent around here and the fest is for it and celebrating fishing in general.
The Lions Club that we are in award college scholarships to 2 high school seniors each year. So the Lions Club president and I drove the current winners in the parade in a bright yellow Jeep Wrangler. It was a huge parade because every fire department and organization from miles around were here. Nobody else has a parade the last Sunday in June! In the civilized Northwoods there is no throwing of candy or spraying from Super Soakers like in suburban parades. It was great fun. Highlight at the beginning of the parade was the introduction of 77 local members of the military that just returned from Afghanistan. A proud day indeed!
More Musky Fest info later...
