We’ve had a busy season at Steamboat Bend and here are some recent highlights. Every Sunday afternoon the bocce lanes and two pickleball courts are reserved for our village and all level of players are welcome. The most recent Sunday brought out this energetic crew (plus one visitor). Can you spot him?
Our Social Committee creates events around the pool. The Italian night was a big success after being postponed due to rain that came just at setup time. The next Monday was perfect for celebrating Georgette McGauley’s 35th season with us. Terry Judd gave the presentation complete with a gold medal and flowers. Her daughter Sue McGauley is proud of Georgette’s constant optimism and long life (soon to celebrate 100 years).
Our evening was topped with live music from Rick Brown, our own Charlie McCoy and Corston Lane. We danced to rock, country and the always popular slow and romantic ballads.
The contest for Steamboat’s official drink was won by (what else?) Irish whiskey and apple cider punch (an old family recipe from Peggy Brennan – our favorite Irish lassie). Perhaps the tasting may have led to Jerry Post being decorated in sticky name tags and boldly showing them off.
We’ll close with recognition of Michele Cavanagh as this year’s Ladies Nine Hole League’s Most Improved Golfer. Her “outfit” could also have won “best dressed hippie” which was the theme for the awards event. She wore peace earrings and a hard-to-find flowered golf skirt.
Yours truly always needs help with these monthly Steamboat Bend articles. Just send your ideas and photos to me at [email protected]. Keepin’ it lively and ending with HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU…
