STICKY WICKET August 27, 2000
​Warrensburgh Fish Hatchery
​It's not often you get to “spit” in the Sheriff's eye and live to tell about it. Well that's just what your editor did. Sitting across the picnic table from Sheriff Larry Cleveland, I bit into my butter dripping corn on the cob and proceeded to send spurts of corn and butter into Larry's face. He was a good sport, but I know he will never let me forget it (or sit across the table from me!). Speaking of corn, what a great spread we had. Chicken done expertly by Chef Brian Engle, scalloped potatoes, baked beans, pasta salads, greens salads, Jell-O yummies and on and on. Desserts were also wonderful and the brownies to die for. We had a special treat this year (a donation by L.D. Hall), sarsaparilla, root bear and cream soda in the old style brown bottles and a wonderful reminder of our childhood.
