SATURDAY, JUNE 15
Met the rest of the Friends of the Fish Hatchery at the Spring Grove Fish Hatchery where we made last-minute preparation's for tomorrow's Father's Day event.
The new bar/restaurant in our town, the Lodge of Spring Grove, is located right by the entrance to the fish hatchery and they have been having their Grand Opening the last two days with bands and crowds. I stopped on my way out and got a place to sit, not an easy thing to do. Getting drinks was also a challenge.
The band was called The Wads and they played highly energetic rock from the 80s and 90s. They was also one of those bulls people used to ride during the "Urban Cowboy" days. I didn't go on it then, and sure wasn't going on now.
Stopped at Magic Moon on the way home and had some drinks and talked with Frank.

SUNDAY, JUNE 16
We had our Father's Day event at the Spring Grove Fish Hatchery. I was involved with welcoming families. It was so good to see young kids with fishing gear in their hands and not staring at their phones. Noted storyteller Jim May was also there relating stories of his growing up in Spring Grove.
It ended at 1 p.m. and I drove over to McHenry and stopped at the PLAV for a Bloody Mary and then to Miller Park on the Fox River and enjoyed a duo from the band Whiskey Devils at the gazebo. Of course, also had an ear of corn from the American Legion.
Then went to Sunnyside and was happy to find that my buddy Mark had brought back Restrelli's pizza from Clinton, Iowa. Boy, is that good pizza.
Too Good of Times Right Here. --RoadStay
