APGAR-We can always plan
everything for our picnic but the
weather. We set the day and hold
our breath. But this year we had
good day-one of the very few
good days in the last month; no
rain and no high wind One thing
the children look forward to is
the ball game with the mothers.
So there was lots of wonderful |
food, a good day, ball game, races
and lots of fun. Picnics are fun! |
We thank everyone who helped |
make it fine picnic.
On the way to Sprague for our
picnic we saw a bear by the side
of the road.
MANY RESERVATIONS
The tourist season is getting
started at the Village Inn. Says
Bill Mackin, we had nine cabins
rented over the weekend. Our res
ervations for the summer are al
most double compared to what
they were last year.
Gunner and Belle Fransen and
Conrad and Olga Schuler returned
to their summer homes here in
Apgar for few days.
Charles Boies and his father
went up to Sprague campgrounds
last Sunday afternoon to look for
mushrooms. No mushrooms but
Charles was pretty thrilled when
he did find snail and he's real
proud of it. On the way home they
saw a large black bear. He was
real lazy, said Charles and just
sat in the middle of the road trying
to get tourists to slow down and
throw some food to him. There
were lot of fishermen and quite
few picnickers about.
A blustery cold day for the op-
ening of the fishing season, how
ever there were quite a few boats
out. Mr.. Salansky was over from
Conrad, also the Bundys and FL
lingstons.
Mr.. and Mrs Mark Gruber are
back at their summer home in
Apgar.
/ Mr.. and Mrs. Odden are getting
settled in their summer home here.
Mr.. Odden went out and tried the
fishing but ran into a snow squall
about three miles up the lake and
gave it up.
