April Vacation Week...for some

This week seems to be school vacation for many, although some had last week off...and a few have next week off. As a kid, I always thought it was silly that vacation week came BEFORE the start of fishing season (as you can tell, there was not an awful lot to do in Preston when I was a young...er). We had a nice crowd at the Easter Egg and Candy Hunt yesterday morning (see Sunday's blog for some photos), and the 800 eggs that were so painstakingly stuffed by Mrs. Easter Bunny were swarmed and found in about 10 minutes time. While there was still a chill in the air (and some frost on the grass), it was a sunny morning. Our Sunday Bingo crowd was a little smaller than Friday and Saturday (we had over 100 players for those), and many people headed out after Bingo for various Easter festivities, such as watching the last round of the Masters. Saturday's rain started later and lasted considerably longer than most had predicted, and even lingered until just after the Egg Toss at 6PM. We offered a few "rainy day" events, such as a Jump Rope Jumping Contest and a "Simon Says" battle, as well as Bingo and the dance (quite a few dancers for a chilly night). Looks like finally some warmer temps are on the horizon, and the long-term forecast is pretty good for next weekend, which is typically the busisest of the four April weekends. April 17-19 will be the first weekend of horseback trail riding, although we have had Pony Rides on each of the first 2 weekends in April.
