The ballfield behind Firemen's Field was busy all day, and as the sun rose, more and more spectators found shade under the huge old spruce trees neaxt to Gary Allen's field of beans.

11:45 a.m.
The line of folks waiting to buy tickets for the Chicken BBQ!

And an equally long line of vehicles who drivers were hoping for a parking spot somewhere, anywhere in that vicinity: no luck!

Mid-afternoon.

And still the steady stream of cars, creeping around the corner of the Post Office, hoping for just one small parking spot somewhere in that part of the village!

Even the Library parkinlot was pretty full! I'd been there earlier in the day and taken these pictures.

If you have the time, do go: stroll, or even sit and enjoy the gardens.

They're magnificent; and they're there for you!

A magnificent Yucca -- or "Needle and Thread" -- behind the children's reading wall.

And - while you're in that part of town - go over to the Municipal Hall and look at Skip Foppes' super-clear, really huge enlargements of old photographs. Many of them I've never seen before so, because he changes the display fairly often, I try to remember to be sure and check back and see what's new!

I'll be spending most of today with an anthropologist from the University of Pennsylvania who's doing a study on the history of the Brothertown Indians. That will be fun and educational, I'm sure!

You have a good day, too!
