Sullivan broke an Adult Fun Night tradition though. Over the past few years one of the queen candidates has won the pit-spitting contest and then gone on to become the next year s queen. One tradition that wasn t broken was festival-goers turning out to participate in Adult Fun Night activities year after year. Adult Fun Night is an event that has been going on as long as I can remember, said Kay Wertman, event director for the past five years. It s a wonderful event because it allows people to come out and just have fun.
Adults can act like kids and nobody cares.
Monday s turnout of nearly 200 participants topped the record of 190 set just last year. Each year the event gets bigger and better, Wertman said. First-time participant Maria Case of Traverse City said she has always wanted to participate in Adult Fun Night. Usually I do the chalk art contest, which runs at the same time as these activites, but this year I decided to try these activities instead said Case. I have caught the tail end of them before and they ve always looked like a lot of fun.
