Final stop of the day. The "Original Pizza Garden" They claim to be the same Pizza Garden that started in Manitowoc in 1959? I, personally, never heard of "PIZZA" until the Pizza Garden came to town. They tell us they are using the original recipes they used back in the beginning.

Thanks go out to Darlene (Olson) Haertlein for most of the pictures presented below. I expect that by now, most of our Coachmen group were dragging a bit.

In summary, the two days just flew by. The only hiccup I can think of was that after our pizza event we usually go \to the Courthouse PUB for Grasshoppers. For some odd reason everyone just went home. Except for Sharon (Prickett) Meany who went over to the courthouse PUB to await the arrival of our club members. Nobody came.
My sincere apologies to you Sharon. By the time I got the message Joan and I were alone in the bar at the Lighthouse Inn having a grasshopper. You have one Grasshopper coming from us at our next event! Promise.
be safe &
I'll see you on the Turntable
