SUNNYSIDE ESTATES Sally Segerstrom S85-0964 Martone Berf 385- FAMILIES SPEND. ENJOYABLE DAYS ON VACATION Bob and Lois McDonald and daughter Gail spent two wonderful weeks traveling up to Expo 67. They stayed there five days trying to see as much as they could. Three days were spent at Niagara Falls. The hotel they stayed at showed a beautiful view of the falls from their balcony imd boasted a pool on the roof. Cecil Kanter spent a week's vacation at home with his family. He kept the whole family on the go the entire week. They spent a day at the Milwaukee Zoo and another just having fun at Holiday Park. The Fry family took off for parts unknown to enjoy their two week vacation. They began with a two day visit with Bar- Dice's sister and family in Thorpe, Wis. Then it was on to Tomahawk where they spent their time boating and fishing. Speaking of fishing, Sandra caught her very first fish there. From there they journeyed to Shawano Lake where they found many activities not offered at the other camping areas. They offered fishing and boating of course but also swimming, dancing, roller skating and many more. The Wisconsin Dells proved to be of interest with the duck rides and Indian ceremony. They spent three days there before returning home. The entire two weeks had unseasonably cold evenings but the days did warm up some What. You can take it from the entire Fry family, it was a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable1 vacation but of course it is nice to be home. GIRL SCOUT SUMMER CAMP Kathy Gerstein spent thirteen fun filled days in New Alburn, Wis., at a Girl Scout summer camp. An 8 hour bus trip took two troops, one advanced and one regular of which Kathy was a member, to this beautiful camping area. The girls had to cook their breakfast and supper with lunch being served by a counselor. They went primitive camping where you sleep under the stars and they also had to lash a table. Then a 3% mile hike to a store apd back tired the girls out for a short time. Most of the time the girls were kept busy swimming, berating and canoeing. They made Heme sticks, which are pieces of wood they carve into sticks with individual designs and they are used when singing and playing games. There were eight patrols with eight girls in each patrol. These patrols played games and had contests. A wood contest to see which partol could pile wood the highest was won by Kathy* s patrol. Then a wide game was played where you get clues on the seven skills of camping, which was also won by Kathy*s patrol. They had a splash party, canoe races and volley ball games in the water. Kathy is very proud of the silver match pin she and the other girls in her patrol received for winning the one match club. This is a game to see how many fires a patrol can start with the same match. It was a wonderful thirteen days in spite of the very cold evenings. Sometimes you wish things can be prolonged but the $nd came too soon to this summer camp for Kathy Gerstein. GUITAR MARATHON One of the music shops in McHenry sponsored a guitar marathon. Some fourteen musicians including Mike Bott began playing Wednesday at 10:15 a.m. and lasted until there was just One guitarist left which occurred Saturday. Mike lasted some 61 hours 8 minutes which he, can be very proud of as it is quite an ordeal. Bob Kuechel Assisted Mike through the first night bringing him food and refreshments and just trying to make it as pleasant as possible. The winner is a member of the same group Mike belongs to. Now we have a little correction which appeared in a previous column. We had stated Ken Bott was a member of the group that played at our Teen Dance, however it was Mike Bott and we are sorry, Mike (or the mistake.

TIME WELL SPENT Just a little report from one of the neighborhoods in the Estates. All summer long this group of children have played so well together and found plenty to keep them busy.
