Today we went to the Greenville Community Picnic beginning with the parade at 10:30am. Madison got plenty of candy and misc things. At the parade the Civic Club handed out raffle tickets to all children ages 1-12. They had to be turned in by 1:30. The raffle tickets (free) were for a bicycle raffle and they were giving away 200 bikes. However, since they didn't have to be turned in until that time we went home for about 30 minutes and than returned to the park. We wrote Madison's name on the ticket and placed it in the girl bucket. After that we went and ate lunch ..hamburgers, brats, hotdogs, etc. And...of course we had to have some free sweet corn. I love that stuff. And..since we had so much time to spare...Madison went to ride the free rides. She had a blast! Met some friends...she meets new "friends" all the time. So, she rode the rides over and over with some girl. After a while we met up with our neighbors and spent the remainder of the time at the park with them...and more neighbors, etc. The raffle started at 2:00 and lasted almost 2 hours. A long time...good thing we had great people to hang out with...Needless to say, Madison did not win a bike. One of our neighbors did at the end...maybe next year! All in all, it was a fun day!!
