What’s happening to town celebrations?

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/29/2016 - 10:31am
This past weekend, we divided up our staff to cover a couple of community celebrations — Glencoe Days here, and Stewartfest in Stewart.
From all reports, neither celebration drew the participants that used to be of historic proportions in the past.
 
Granted, Saturday was probably the hottest day that we’ve seen this summer. And the two celebrations fall on the same weekend, following on the heels of Winstock near Winsted and Hutchinson’s Water Carnival.

I was on all fours, eyeball to eyeball with my garden weeds. With the expanded “tire” around my stomach, it was difficult to breathe, and I was perspiring profusely, but the weeds had to go. They were taking over the garden.
 
While I was talking at (not to) the weeds, I was thinking about the recently completed Glencoe Days. I may have been thinking too much, because when my wife came home, she noticed there were gaps in the zinneas.
