Today was the long awaited big day! Government Hill's 90th Anniversary Picnic and Celebration took place this afternoon and it was an absolute blast!
We couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise (I have the sunburnt face to prove it). We'd been scared to death it was going to pour, but because we arranged for tents, I think we cosmically guaranteed that it wouldn't rain. The event was very well attended, the food was great, the kids had fun, the adults had fun, the politicos speechified (including a real pep rally kind of speech from Lisa - our neighbor and US Senator), our history display was a hit, the walking tour was popular, the games were a blast, and on and on and on...
We received tons of media coverage. All three TV stations were there plus KSKA/APRN. I did lots of interviews - I saw the Channel 2 segment this evening - I was mortified. I looked like a doofus. Oh well.
Anyhoo, we on the party committee are just thrilled - it turned out better than we could have ever hoped.
I took lots of pictures - I'll post some of them tomorrow.
