Happiness is "rides at the carnival" especially if your an exceptional person. American Legion Post 491 last week made it a day to remember as the post treated members of the McHenry and Crystal Lake Pioneer Center for the Exceptional to free rides. Laughter and excitement were evident on their faces as they enjoyed the thrill of the Tilt a Whirl. There were no crowds, just the 100 members of the Center, who had tfie rides to themselves. The afternoon ended as the Legion auxiliary treated them to hot dogs and soda. Staff Photos by Wayne Gay lord
