The Sandwich 4th of July celebration is always a special event, but 2017 had some extra magic. It was a truly grand day from start to finish.
The Parade 10am
Field Days (the egg toss is a favorite)
Dale and the Duds at the bandstand on Shawme Pond
The Boat Parade (a 102 year old tradition)
Fireworks over Shawme Pond for the 1st time in 38 years
As promised, Herrick folks, my niece and I paid a visit to Marilyn at Bernie’s Inn. It was so much fun to see the place and be reminded of childhood memories—working in the honey house, hanging out after games and high school weekends driving around stopping in for a pop. I hope you all enjoy the little trip down memory lane. Be sure to visit next time you are in the area. It’s well worth the effort.
Bernie’s Inn was established in 1973
The view as you enter.
Look who greeted us at the door.
Marilyn Baxa/proprietor of Bernie’s Inn welcomed us and told us some stories about the place.
Blue Star Honey where I worked as a kid—love that whipped honey. YUMMY!
Family photos are everywhere.
Kettles warming on the stove.
I visited on Sunday afternoon. I suspect there was some lively card playing on Saturday night. Darn, I missed it.
A quick snooze before hatching a sneaking out plan.
Thank you Marilyn.
