My "Cheeseburger Days"
I've been back from Caseville since Thursday and the "Cheeseburgers in Caseville" 10-day event was a total blast! We were busy pretty much every day.
Friday.....Hubby came up and we went to the concert in the park and watched the "Tribute to the U.S. Armed Forces" and then "Marty Viers and the Music Doctors" play onstage. Afterwards they had the 'spectacular laser light show' which was pretty awesome to see. I had 2 cheeseburgers on this first day of Cheeseburger....one in town at the Key North place and one at the concert.
Saturday....I went to the animal clinic in town and watched the "Whooz Dog Got Talent" combined with a pet fashion show. People had their dogs dressed up and had them perform their favorite tricks. Keno can do a 'high five' and smile with his teeth but he won't do it on command in front of anybody when you want him to so I didn't bother entering him. Mini Sue doesn't do much of anything except lift her left paw up to get a treat. I didn't stick around for the whole thing cause it was so damn hot out. So I left after awhile and drove up to the school where they were having a craft show going on.
We decided to skip the Saturday night concert in the park and went up to the Eagles instead to have one of their cheeseburgers. And I had a Walking Taco earlier in the day. I love those!
Sunday.....Didn't feel good at all Sunday and layed around most of the day.
Monday.....Went into town to the village park and watched the kid's parade and the caribbean street dance with dancing, limbo and hula hooping. I had a hot dog at the Key North place.
Tuesday....My son and his girlfriend were up and we all went to the Wooded Island as they call it and watched the "Sea Cruisers" play 50's and 60's music. They were pretty good and did a great rendition of 'Johnny Be Good'. I bought their CD. We got Cheeseburgers from the 'Brew Moon' place near the Wooded Island. They had really good burgers and onion rings.
Wednesday....Parade Day! The new rule this year is that nobody can start setting their chairs up in their favorite spots until 6:00 a.m. the day of the parade. In years past, there are chairs all over town and in the streets as early as Monday! So I got up at 6:00 in the morning and drove into town with our chairs and got them set up in the Village Park in our favorite spot...front row seats! Then later we went up to sit and wait for the parade to start. Son and his g'friend and her daughter and neice also came. It was the best parade ever this year. It was almost 2 hours long with lots of really neat floats. My favorite was this giant pig that shot water out of it's butt at the crowd...LOL. Had a cheeseburger from the beer tent.
After the parade I took hubby home and then I went up to the condo where the kids were staying and partied with them and some of the owners at a bonfire until 2:30 in the morning!!
Thursday.....Thursday night I went up to the park to watch the concert. "The Mysterians" were playing. Way back in the day "? and the Mysterians" had a one hit wonder called "96 Tears". Well...same band but without Question Mark. And they played "96 Tears" twice. I just LOVE that song!! It was exciting to see them perform it. We had cheeseburgers at the Key North place in town.
Friday.....I went over to my girlfriends house for awhile. And later hubby and I and my son and his girlfriend and the girls all went up to the Fireside Inn for pizza. Then later that night hubby and I went to the condo and partied with them and some renters until 2:30 in the morning again! Drank waaayyyy too much beer AGAIN! Had a cheeseburger and a Walking Taco in town.
Saturday.....First the kids came over and we barbequed burgers, brats, chicken and steak, and then we all went to the main park to watch the last concert of the festival. It was a band called "Jimmy and the Parrots". It's the first time they have played the Cheeseburger festival. The park was jammed with people for this last concert. And this band totally blew everybody away...they were THAT good! They did some Jimmy Buffett tribute songs for the occasion but they also jammed out alot of great tunes. When they did a Journey song the crowd went crazy. And they also did the old tune "Wipeout" by the Ventures and I couldn't believe the drummer's drum solo. OMG was he good! He was flying on those drums and lights were flashing and it was just so amazing to watch him. I swear, he's the best drummer I have ever seen. And they even did some Beatles' tunes. They were really rockin' the place, that's for sure.
Sunday.....The last day of Cheeseburger came to an end. Hubby was worn out and decided to just chill at home. I went into town to see the classic car show at the county beach. And then I walked through town one last time taking it all in and I had one last cheeseburger. Then I went home and started taking my decorations down. Well, actually I went home AFTER I watched my son get his car towed out of the lake! He was trying to get one of his jet ski's out of the water and backed in too far and got stuck. So by trying to save $7.00 to do it at the marina, he ended up paying $120 to get his car out of the water. Oh well.....
And that was our Cheeseburger week in Caseville.
Hubby left for home on Monday and I stuck around for a few more days getting things cleaned up and I got together for lunch with my girlfriend. Then I drove home on Thursday.
We decided to stay home for Labor Day weekend. Then we'll probably head back up and spend our anniversary (9-18) going to the Kinde Polka Fest....or maybe the 50's-60's dance at the Eagles which is the same night. And then also that same weekend is the Elkton "Born to be Wild" festival when all the bikers come into town and everybody parties in the beer tent. Damn....just too much going on in the same weekend. I can't be everywhere at the same time!!! I wish they would space things out better. But summer is ending and there are just so many weekends left to get all the festivals and partying in.
I hope the weather stays good...
