Another cold night but the day was beautiful. It is odd to have the heater on in the morning but use the air conditioner in the afternoon.
Today will be a busy day. There is a gathering at one of the classmates homes before the dinner dance tonight. We have decided not to attend that. We will be staying at the rig to hand out candy to the little kids instead. Also, we tried to find the house the other day and my GPS couldn't. It is down one of those streets that don't exist and you can't get there from here type places.
The park is having all sorts of things going on today. First, here is a picture of the row we are parked in.
We walked down to the center part of the park where some of the activities are taking place. They were having a pie eating contest. About a dozen brave souls took part. The object was to eat as much pie as you could in one minute. You could pick up the plate but not the pie.
Personally, I thought they should have divided the race into young kids and older people to be fair but it wasn't my contest. The winner split the entry fees with the park.
After that we walked around a bit and had lunch in the restaurant. Normally, I don't like to stay in a KOA campground but this one isn't bad. They keep it nice and the kids were well behaved. We stay here when we are in the area as it is the nicest park with full hookups around. This park also has an amusement park section but that won't be operating until later today.
We went back to the rig to catch a nap before tonight. We did wake up before the kids came around at 3:00 PM. Bill went in to get dressed for this evening while I passed out candy then we traded places. I was surprised that there were as many kids as there were. They do this every Saturday in October so if you have your rig parked here for the season you could come every weekend, send your kids around to trick or treat, and then have enough by the end of the month so that you don't have to buy any at home! Everyone gets into it. They also decorate their sites. I understand there is a contest for the best decorated site.
It soon became time to head into Pottsville for the reunion. It is being held at a private club in town called the Pottsville club. The building was nice. We arrived a few minutes early but were not the first ones here. We located the room and signed in. The committee had books made up that contained info on all the graduates, or at least those who responded. You also picked up your drink tickets at the front desk. Bill ran into some more people he knew and I think he was surprised that he had a good evening. Dinner was nice. I had chicken picatta and Bill had crab cake (I think someone messed up because I swore he ordered the beef). The people who sat with us were nice and I never got bored. The DJ was a little strange but hey, aren't all those artsy types? We did decide not to attend the brunch tomorrow. All the people at the table said the food wasn't that good there. The restaurant was changed when they got such a good response. I think the second one wasn't as good as the first. At least that is what the Yahoo reviews say. Maybe they won't get a many as they think.
Tomorrow we are visiting more family members.
