Come to the Fire Pit

O nce a month we have a gathering at the fire pit near the equipment

building. This month, on the 21st, The All American Hot Dog is on the menu. For your convenience the fire and cov-ered picnic tables will be made ready by volunteers. You need to bring your own hot dogs, buns, fixings and cooking sticks. We will eat at 5:00 PM. You should bring your own table service and may want to bring a desert or casserole to share but that’s up to you. This is a good chance to meet some of your neighbors. If you don’t feel comfortable going alone you may want to bring a friend or neighbor for company. After, for an investment of only 25 cents a race, you will want to participate our own tabletop horse races. Hope to see you there.

Pancake Breakfast

S unday, August 17 is the date for this year’s Pancake Breakfast sponsored by the Venice Fire Fighters.

Pancakes and sausage along with coffee, milk and juice will be available for a donation to the group.

Also on tap is an extraction dem-onstration in which a car will be dismantled to show how the Jaws of Life are used to save lives.

Golf Cart Poker Results

T he Fourth of July weekend poker run set a record with over 80 participants

resulting in more than $400 in cash prizes awarded to the winners. Two weeks later on July 17 we again broke the attendance record for a weekday with 42 participants and $210 returned to the winners. The next poker runs will be held August 2 and on Labor Day weekend. Your cost is only $5.00 to enter, which entitles you to travel to five locations about the park and collect a playing card at each location. Those with the best poker hands will share the cash that was taken in as entry fees. Come join in the fun.

Help Wanted

A gain this year we are asking for help dismantling the spook house . Last year we had a tremendous re-
