Above, you can see a group of the DASFI golfers enjoying themselves after they finished play!

This coming Sunday will be the final one for "fall ball" at Centennial Park. Four high school age teams - Dodgeville, Mineral Point, Barneveld and Sluggers (Prairie du Chien, Platteville, Galena, Cuba City) - play four games, with each team playing two. They start at 9:00 a.m. and finish about 5:00 p.m. We have a concession stand running the entire time with burgers, hot dogs, brats and lots of fluids (that were needed a lot the first five weeks, especially last week). If you want to watch some present and future high school players have fun playing baseball, stop up!

The Dodgeville Chamber of Commerce is planning a "Trunk or Treat" event for Saturday, October 27. The set-up will be in the parking lot behind the courthouse and Dodgeville Chronicle with a haunted house and games being planned for the kids. There will be more coming soon on the specifics, so stay tuned to the paper!
*****
The chamber is also starting planning for the "Home for the Holidays" event. That's another thing to keep watching for more information. That begins on Small Business Saturday, the end of November.

One of the golfers at DASFI was telling me a story about doing a bike ride. There was a fellow coming off a boat to join the ride with a recumbent bike. They struck up a conversation and asked where the fellow was from. To his amazement, the fellow said he was from southwestern Wisconsin. The answer was "So am I." That fellow was none other than "my late buddy" Mike Crubaugh!

I told that fellow - "The older you get, the more you find out just how small the world is!"
