Labor Day Weekend in Big Bay


It was crazy in the park last night. The place was full – even the “rent-a-tent” was occupied. A band from Marquette comes every year during the Labor Day weekend, and they give a free concert on Saturday night. To add to the festivities this year some people decorated their campsites with strings of lights. Red, white, and blue was a theme for one site making a patriotic statement. People usually gather at individual campsites around fires after dark, but this night they walked the campground well into the night, but most of them were gathered at the pavilion for the free concert. The band played a variety of tunes, and even the old folks like Dave and Val enjoyed the music. Then all of a sudden another band was heard coming from the direction of the Lumberjack Tavern. There were bands playing, people talking, laughing, and hollering to each other, dogs barking, children crying. But when fireworks were added to the cacophony I retreated to the inside of the trailer and tried to get under the bed. Val says, “It’s ok Remington, it won’t hurt you.” Are you kidding me? When someone is shooting at you – duck for cover!
Yours for gun safety,
Remington Beagle
