Around the Neighborhood - Summit - 1 May 2026

We had some nice days and rainy days again.

Stopped by the Summit FD breakfast sandwich fundraiser to buy raffle tickets for the scratch off lottery tickets. (one of these days I’m going to win one of these raffles, LOL) Saw Chris Tague there having a sandwich and invited him to join in the photo with volunteers Barb Anstett, Jane Stevenson and Lynn Wayman.

Had a nice time walking around Maple Festival, bought a few things and ate Gauges French fries, of course. Waited all winter for their French fries. It was nice that the rain held off until later afternoon.

Two other crazy kids were in Summit Lake when my granddaughter jumped in last Sunday.

Happy Birthday to Ed Larson of Jefferson. He turns 90 on May 1st and is still going strong.

Charlotteville School House served over 200 Cups of soup at their Soup Buffet on April 26.
