Fall Festival

It's been another busy week.  The weather kept us entertained as a big WET cold front swept across Arizona.  We had at least 1.4 inches of rain.  That's a remarkable amount for us as we seldom ever get a whole inch in the same storm.  You can see the water pouring off the roof of buildings.


Rain started while we were playing cards so our golf carts got soaked.  If you didn't have towels or cushions, you rode home in wet clothes.


Our Fall Festival was supposed to be held the next day.  How could our super hero Marion Nelson pull off this event with all the rain?  She did it with flying colors.

The next day her crew was out there setting up on the parking lot.  You can see from this photo that Palm Park was still flooded and squishy but no problem on the parking lot.  The sun came out, the temperature rose and we had a beautiful day for the event.


Congratulations to the busy beavers who set up all these tables and chairs in the early morn.


Our General Manager, Scott Houle, and his assistant Gabrielle Gonzales were present to greet us.


 Marguarite, our new Sales Manager, and Vicki Wilson our Guest Services Supervisor staffed a welcome booth.  


The BIG draw for the day was the wonderful food trucks.  We wandered from one to the other to read their menu and make the huge decision of where to eat first.  FUN.















Don and I personally chose the winner as the guy with the catfish dinners.
DELICIOUS!!


Vendor booths were also present.  




Dish had a "spin the wheel" to win a prize.


It was a "beautiful day in the neighborhood".  Great weather, good music from the band, lots of friends, and good food made it a very successful event.

It makes us proud to live in Palm Creek.

Tech news:
I attended an on line seminar with our friends Jim and Chris Guld of Geeks on Tour.  After the seminar, we can chat with "The Geeks" in an on line open discussion using ZOOM.  I picked up lots of new tips and tricks using Google Photos so perhaps we'll see you at computer club to share the news.

I didn't take any photos of the cats this week but they are always with me on my phone:
