Good 4th of July in the Area-- Part 3-- The Bars, The Parties

After the parade, we went into Main Street Tap. Hey, it's tradition. A parade in Twin Lakes equals drinks at Main Street Tap. They had the great Bloody Mary, but without that glorious spear of goodies for $3 in a pint glass (a fifty cent saving, but I'd sure rather have the spear). It did come with a shrimp, though.

We then went to Donovan's Reef, our home base for NTN and played a three games and had two more pints.

FUN ON THE CHAIN

We drove back to Fox Lake, Illinois, and checked out their festival for awhile, then went to Kevin and Kelly's place on the lake for their party. We were first there and put a first attack on their keg. They have a direct view of the fireworks over the lake, but we had to leave as we had another party to go to at Rick and Chris' on the channel by Dino's Den.

Sat out at the Turkey Bar and had more drinks. We keep our boat at their place. Rick is famous for his fried turkey, but he was trying a new item which had turkey, duck and chicken in it that he had gotten from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. It was mighty good.

By now, I had had enough to drink and with the cops cracking down, we decided to leave and weren't happy at all to find a cop sitting out on Rick's street to keep non residents out. We waited awhile and finally decided he wasn't going anywhere so went ahead and left.

I was relieved that he didn't follow.
