The best part of the event is see all the community come out and get involved. 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. 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. First-time participant Maria Case of Traverse City said she has always wanted to participate in Adult Fun Night. I have caught the tail end of them before and they've always looked like a lot of fun. Case wasn't afraid to dive right into the fun and entered every contest except the cherry pie eating. Activities this year included cherry pit spitting, cherry pie eating, finger painting, Spam carving, the newlywed game, putting, a Frisbee toss and a hokey pokey dance contest.
