He told us that he knew we would be here even in the rain!

Thank you to everyone who sent in photos to post!

There is a story behind the Wal-Mart Safety vest but it is too long for here... let's just say the president will return your shopping cart when necessary!

Stoney Creek Restraurant,
and cajun shrimp (of course)

We ALWAYS eat well thanks in most part to the ladies!

One night was Chicken, Hot Dogs and Hamburgs on the grill

Salute!

They did not stay on the marked trail (at the Natural Stone Bridge)

A point of reflection inside the Stone Bridge park.

Eating again... this time steaks on the grill

Enjoying company of friends at the fire by the lake... see the rainbow?

The Sheriff's Department had their eye on Steve!

Americade and the Red Knights each began in the same year. The two organizations have been connected since the beginning and have constantly shown support for each other over the decades.

At the Red Knights Dinner at Americade, Americade Founder Bill Dutcher was presented with a replica Fire Chief's Helmet with the RKMC logo that said "CHIEF Americade"

Bill has since told us that it sits in a place of prominence in his office.

Cribbage, pitch, dice, bocce... all in good fun. (There was 18 holes of golf during the week too)

Sparky has pretty toes...

As Bill Dutcher said, he knew that no matter rain or not, the Red Knights would be there to lead the parade....

... and he was right!
