We left on Thursday morning in style! Kind of a crazy looking caravan! George drove the Fire Engine and we followed in the wagon! It's a 1967 Buick Sport Wagon.....jealous aren't ya! I'll have to admit, I wasn't crazy about riding in this for 3 hours. Admittedly we got some crazy looks, stares, points and thumbs ups! It has the sky lights around the back and a working AM radio. George just had it all re-painted...that is the original color! I kinda felt like I was in the movie 'Vacation'. It was a hit at the Fire Truck Show...which is where we were heading to.
We had 3 trucks in the parade on Saturday throwing out candy and stuffed bears on the streets of Roscommon.
This is basically a trade show for Steve and I go along to hang out. It's held on a fair ground in Roscommon. He spends all day talking with departments looking to purchase a fire truck
in the future. At night we go eat with the other sales people, go in the hot tub....
One night we were even invited to eat at the cottage of Bill and Joan Foster owners of Spartan Motors in Charlotte (cottage on Houghton Lake)....it was quite a honor! We've never been invited before.....it must have been my good hair days that got us invited!
You might be in Michigan if......you have a coyote outside your hotel room window! He wasn't that far away either! They left him some bread treats every morning..we got to see him (or her) all three mornings!
And a highlight for me.......Elephant Ears! I resisted buying one till Sunday morning so I wouldn't be eating one every day! Last year when we went, I never bought one, I certainly didn't want that same mishap this year!!
It sure was yummy and not to greasy!! What's not to like about dough deep fried, spread with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar!!
