Clinton has the Apple & Dork festival each year last weekend in September, make this the last weekend (Saturday) in October. No harvest excuses for not coming. Have Toohill Beef cook a hog and some beef brisquet(BEP surely has a southern dry rub recipe) get some sponsorship beverages from the three tavern resources in this fine village and away we go. Question is: Would the park allow for this one weekend a liquor license for the town Festivus. All money and proceeds could go back to the fine community. EEP, this could be just like your wish of having an 'Old School' style fraternity.

No one ever died, or even got sick (except for some gluttony) yet they did in the great event. So put on a village-wide turkey fry at the park. Get the deep fat fryers out and make some black smoke. <BR/><BR/>Next: Host an "All class" soiree in 2008. Make it wet. If it is wet, they will come. Keep it informal, eat fried turkey. Have fun. <BR/><BR/>Start the Hog City Alternative Fuel Syndicate and begin dealing directly with the EU to sell local ag products for bio-diesel usage. Sorry Greg. <BR/><BR/>We can do the beard thing, although I don't look good as an Amish/House of David bearded wonder. Beyond that, get the Tweed Film Festival and Alternative Life Style Festival plans cooking as EEP and I have set forth. EEP will publish the vision statement soon. <BR/><BR/>Finally, for round 1, our humble beginning, get the rural v. urban softball game scheduled. <BR/><BR/>This is just the beginning. <BR/><BR/>Note to EEP: if you want the Turkey Dinner back join St. Pats and take it on. <BR/><BR/>BEPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-7541598998795330582007-11-02T19:28:00.000-07:002007-11-02T19:28:00.000-07:00No turkey dinner blowsNo turkey dinner blowsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-26833113992493389572007-11-02T07:40:00.001-07:002007-11-02T07:40:00.001-07:00This is RIDICULOUS.That's all I can stand and I ca...This is RIDICULOUS.That's all I can stand and I can't stand no more....<BR/><BR/>Here and now, I'm pledging a few things:<BR/><BR/>1.
