4th of July Parade 

The 4th of July is not far off and everyone is invited to start making their plans to attend the Muldoon Park Association’s big celebration in the park. There are some exciting plans being made for the parade, an All-American Hot Dog lunch, and a fundraising auction. And most exciting of all, there will be a live band performing in the park.

Everyone is invited to be a part of the parade, so start thinking of a way to show your patriotic spirit for the 250th anniversary of our nation’s birthday. Think decorated bikes, trucks, tractors, horses, full out floats, etc.. This will be fun.

Following the parade, there will be mingling in the park with a patriotic hat contest and a big hot dog meal with a free will donation. Bring along your favorite summer add-on to this wonderful hot dog, sides and desserts to add to the big sharing picnic in the park. Be sure and bring your lawn chairs to be comfortable.

There also will be an auction to raise funds to care for the park. The park is a center piece of the community and needs to be maintained, so bring out and donate some really nice stuff to support the park. Who knows, you might find some treasures to take home for yourself. The baked goods are always a great thing to have the winning bid on. So start making plans now to come out and celebrate the 4th of July in Muldoon.

Out and About 

Last weekend, Pam Sheffield‘ s son-in-law Grey and grandson Ben, along with Ben’s friend Tripp from Houston, came to spend the weekend with her since their camping trip got rained out. Grey used this time to repair Pam’s tractor and mowed all around her property for her. The boys had a great time playing basketball, chess and cards. Mostly, they enjoyed riding around the property on the go-kart and the Kubota. They took turns following each other all around. Grey took them fishing at the pond where they caught a few bass. They enjoyed a cookout and watched movies and a basketball game on TV. It was a great weekend except for all the chigger bites.
