What a weekend in Davison, Michigan.
We had great weather for our Do-Da parade Friday night and a great turnout also. The Davison High School Football team also was very successful on the gridiron.
Again, Saturday Mother Nature cooperated giving us great weather for the Pumpkin Festival. Crowds were good and by 5:00 pm. All the food vendors had sold out of food (hopefully very profitable for our non-for-profit groups).
According to the preliminary calculations of wristband sales, we had about 700 more kids participate this year than last year, truly a gage of this events draw. Thousands of people were able to enjoy our hometown tradition.
The Fire Department Open House was also a success with the extraction demonstration (“Jaws of Life” ripping into a car). The largest complaint I heard was about the distance between downtown and the fire hall. Maybe we can work on this for next year.
Yes, the pumpkin did splat after diving off of a 102 feet platform to the cheers of children of all ages.
And for those who didn’t make it downtown thanks for cheering on the Spartans of Michigan State University and the University of Michigan Wolverines to their homecoming victories.
I even got a couple of honey do things off my list…Ah what a victorious weekend it was.
