$2640 bringing our gross so far to around $35,500. Joining him
and Dick Breton were Roger Webster and Nancy Williams. Even tho
understaffed, they kept things going until the day's slow-down
at 3:00 p.m. Next up will be the Weirs Boardwalk Memorial Weekend.
We will be there Saturday and/or Sunday depending on the weather.
And Motorcycle Week is not that far away--be sure to set some
time aside for the Big Push. Imm. Past Lt. Gov. Chet Cilley will
look into renting a new tent.
