Beer Garden

I walked past the beer garden a few times during Arkalalah. Didn't see anybody doing keg stands or running around shouting how drunk they were, which I half expected to see from the moral outrage in the letters to the editors. You barely noticed the beer garden walking by — it just looked like people milling about and talking. Maybe they were even having a good time?

I don't drink so I didn't go inside, but it didn't look wild and crazy. As promised the Hillcrest Bible Baptist Church boycotted the parade. The only other church floats I notcied were Sacred Heart and the Hispanic church on A Street behind Country Mart. Not sure if other churches joined the boycott or just didn't do a float, but it seemed like there weren't that many.

Oh well, the parade is a bit long anyway ...
