Ichabod Crane Days 2010

2010 Icabod Crane Days had perfect weather. Temps were in the 70s as participant turnout was overwhelming. Saturday's horse drawn wagon rides were given by the big draft teams of Russ and Julie Stickle, Amber and TJ Hunt, Gary and Sharon Fortin, Al and Cheryl Goodrich and Nancy Caulfield's tiny mini team. SHTRA deeply appreciates these owners' time and efforts to do this event. Pat Brown w/ Bernie rode for hours as the Headless Horseman proving that Washington Irving's legend lives on. Mike Wood was attired as Ichabod, the old schoolmaster, and Sue Chant was costumed as his companion, Katrina. They rode the public campground and wagon route to interact with the wagon riders. Back at the beach parking lot, the Great Pumpkin's weight of 81 lbs. was guessed at. Thanks to Gale and Lori Moore for donating it to the lucky family. The Myron Karsten family and friends hosted pumpkin bowling, giant bubble blowing, creepy sandbox digging, and the eyeball jar. Mary Wrigley donated the use of her horse Breeze and burro, Washtenaw for finger painting. Yup, that's right! Paint the ***! The 50/50 drawing was won by Sue Chant who donated her winnings back to SHTRA! Thanks to all who donated their time volunteering helping out in so many ways. The Country Store in St. Johns donated candy for the kids. Gale Moore fired up the grill and grilled brats, burger and dogs for the hungry crew. Following the potluck, trails were ridden to enjoy the fall colors. Hollow logs on the campfire ended the perfect day. Gale, Gary and Pat covered the paper trail for this event. We hope to see you next year!
