more folks this time when Josh

Gracin takes to the stage to enter-

tain. The Belleville Bridge Walk,

which includes a taste-fest and art

show, was delayed this year

because of threatened storms. Even

that didn't deter or phase the volun-

teers out there who simply went to

Plan B. Right now, the Romulus

Pumpkin Festival committee is

seeking volunteers to help with

almost every attraction planned for

this year.

There are certainly community

events we haven't mentioned like

the 4th of July parades that take so

much effort from so many people,

the other community festivals dur-

ing the summer weeks, Art in the

Park, the Arts and Acts event in

Northville, the Canton Liberty Fest

and so many more, all dependant

on volunteers from the community

tomake the event a success.

All of these events share one

common factor. They depend on

volunteers from the community to

donate their time, effort, energy

and hard work to make them hap-

pen. None of these events is organ-

ized quickly or takes place without

months of organization and effort,

most of it by volunteers who are

looking to make the community a

better place for everyone.

While most of them may look,

right now, like they are gliding

through the incredible details and

amount of organization and trouble

shooting producing events like

these requires, trust us, they are

paddling like hell.

We'd just like to say thanks to all

of them and tell them how much

their efforts really are appreciated.

because those poor guys have

enough to deal with. I mean, after

all, the aforementionedCIAagents

are the ones really responsible for

laying off half the police force in

that city so as to protect their

super secret installation and activ-

ities from discovery, or so some of

my confidential informants tell

me.

By the way, I just remembered,

do not use a Teflon pan for the

brain shield…serious cancer risk,

I'mtold.

One of my all time favorites has

to do with the Plymouth Rotary

Club Chicken Barbeque, coming

up in a fewweeks.

Nowmany of youmay not know

this, but the reason that chicken

tastes like it does is because of the

illegal substances those sneaky

Rotarians put in the spices they

use. Yep, according to the guy (I

think it's a guy, anyhow) whowrites

to me about this time every year,

those Rotary Club barbequers are

lacing the chicken with federally

controlled substances in an effort

to lure the entire community into

a false sense of happiness and

contentment.

My informant has no explana-

tion for the need to do this for one

day a year with a drug that usually

lasts about 4-6 hours, but it's a very

entertaining theory.

Wonder why he isn't after the

Kiwanis Club about the pancakes,

because every year after I stuff

myself on those all I want to do is

nap for the rest of the day.

What I'd like to tell this guy is

that I, and about 11,000 other folks,

really don't care what it is these

guys are putting on that chicken.

Whatever it is, it's delicious, and if

it is a controlled substance, they

aren't charging anywhere near

enough for those dinners.

One more thing: I have it on

good (albeit anonymous) authority

that Bigfoot inhabits Edward

Hines Park after escaping from a

secret animal testing clinic in

Plymouth.

My favorite part of that letter

was the postscript, way down at

the bottom after the listing of the

various sightings of the creature(s)

and a description of the laboratory

fromwhich it escaped.

In tiny cramped letters, it said,

“P:S: I made all the dolls for our

craft show last year.”

See why I can hardly wait for

themail every day?
