(Returning to port - not pictured are Cesar Vega and Gene and Adele Wetzel) Last week's First Friday was a special field trip to Blarney Island arranged by our Club Service Chair, Laura Cullotta who arranged for us to have the place exclusively to ourselves. And while she was not able to make, she sent her dad Gordon to represent. He happened to be the only one in our group that had been there before - back in the 80's. This was a Blarney Island experience like no other. There were no lines for drinks, no lines for the bathrooms. There were fierce bags competitions with Stacey Iwanicki throwing screamers right into the hole and Sal Speciale fighting through a broken collarbone to knock the competition aside. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperative. With all the recent rains, the Chain and the Fox are no wake zones and it was a little cool and breezy that night. I am certain this was the most heavily dressed group that bar has ever seen. Probably because of that we took the time and fellowship to reminisce about that very same weekend in 2014 when our club hosted the coldest, wettest Oktoberfest on record and assign blame to the appropriate party. After we closed the place down, we headed to Crystal Lake Brewery for their annual Oktoberfest. It was a great night with fun and fellowship. Thank you Laura for making the arrangements - Luke wants to go back in July or August.
