Blue White A«« Bedford When you were young, what did you think Bedford Day meant? Food everywhere. And balloons and face painting and the dunking booth and prizes and... too much to tell Mommy ab out all in one breath. You probably also remem- ber the feeling that everyone but you knew everyone else. After all, how long was Daddy going to talk to that man with the beard - you wanted him to take you in the moonwalk! Well, we ' ve matured since then, but we are still aware of the sense of community that one finds at the annual town gathering. Beautiful weather, the smell of hot hamburgers, and the sounds of friends and neighbors enjoying themselves attracted many resi- dents to the Bedford Day festivities again this year. Standing or sitting on the curb of Great Road, young and old alike watched the high school marching band, citizen of the month, AFS student, girl scouts, boy scouts and recreation department soccer players parade up the street. Meanwhile, booths galore were being set up at the Center School parking lot, preparing for a busy day. Young children convinced their parents to buy them fried dough, candy apples, buttons, and balloons. Almost every organiza- tion in town, from churches to the Women ' s Club, had a booth. For a fee of $2.00, anyone could send a summons for a friend to be sen- tenced for three minutes in the Ju- nior Jailhouse , provided by the class of 1988. Working together to raise funds for both causes, the se- nior class and AFS had a mini-golf game, balloons, and candy bars. After the excitement finally died down late Saturday aftemoon, Sep- tember 20, the booths were taken apart and packed away until next year, when, once again, above the noise of the parade will be heard the cries, Daddy, when can I go in the moonwalk? It was fun working at the booth, giggles Jennifer Sutton. Good friends Robert Hauge , Greg Crescenzi, Kathi McGovem, Becl y O ' Don- nell, Meg Qurley, Todd Tyer, Mike Walsh, Matt Sullivan, Jill Costello, and Matt Huffrnan pull together to make Bedford Day great. Majorette Sheila McCravy twirls on in the Bedford Day parade. 4 BEDFORD DAY
