SATURDAY, MARCH 18
About as cold as I can ever remember it. And, it was 20 degrees but that wind blew the cold right through you. Had been thinking of going to McHenry and watching them dye the Fox River green and then the parade. They also had two huge tents at Miller Park by the river where bands were playing and food trucks available. Not likely in that cold.
Instead, went to the Fox Lake Historical Society and had a presentation of "The Midway." This was a major resort area in Fox Lake in the early part of the 1900s with hotels, bars, dance halls and all sorts of fun.
Then stopped at the Fox Lake American Legion on Nippersink Lake to see when they needed help for the corned beef & cabbage dinner and had a beer. Home and back to the Legion. As it turned out, they didn't need me, but I was there in case they did.
In the meantime, enjoyed the $2 draft pints and had my second cb&c dinner, this time for $10. Watched March Madness. Kevin, Russ and Allie had their heads shaved earlier in the day at the Fox Lake Fire Department for St. Baldrick's to rase money for charities.
Came home and watched the rest of March Madness in Margaritaville (my bar in the basement).
