Friday night, after getting the concession stand at Centennial Park ready for the workers to run for a Senior Babe Ruth game, brother Patrick and I headed to Richland Center to view the 66th Annual Betty Hayes School of Dance show. The Richland Center High School auditorium is a great place to watch that production from and it's air conditioned! Both Pat and I agreed this one was the best productions ever! Betty's daughter Cheryl, who has been a choreographer and actresss/dancer in several national films and stage productions, helped with the production and performed with her parents - Lee and Betty (see above). It was really worth seeing!

We received a renewal from Joe Biddick along with a little note from Marsha. It read: "Enclosed is our payment for our one year renewal of The Dodgeville Chronicle. We enjoy reading this paper every Thursday!" They live in Fitchburg.

This Friday, Saturday and Sunday all roads lead to Livingston for their annual festival. Things begin Friday night with ball games that run through Sunday. There's a lot of events Saturday and Saturday evening with fireworks at dusk. Sunday features a chicken barbecue and a huge parade.

I got a chance to stop at the Hodan Center sponsored Fly-in Drive-in breakfast that was held on Father's Day at the Iowa County Airport. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to eat, but everybody said it was great! I did get to see a few airplanes come in and talk with several groups of people. It's always a great time. Bob Regan's kids always treat him to that event!

Son Michael called me n Father's Day and posted on FACEBOOK that he was sorry he couldn't be here, but his new job and moving was almost to much to handle. He sent me a "nice" card - if anyone knows the type of cards I send out, he's a chip off the old block!
