Petoskey had their 1st 'Festival on the Bay', and we were there. The morning started out early (6 am) with our helping the Noon Club with their pancake breakfast. After the setup was finished & the sun came up, the servers were ready for the crowds. Here Dan Rasmussen, Jim Kan & Julie Jarema (from the Noon Club) are ready.

Mark Hilal flips pancakes with Derrick Rasmussen helping - plate ready.

In the afternoon, we moved to our own tent & setup for business selling burgers & chicken sandwiches as well as Sno-Kones.

Mark Potter (bending over), Jim Kan, Matt Keene, Mark Hilal & Benjamin Potter are ready for customers.

Joe Kuhn & Mark did a lot of the cooking.

Were ready with happy faces - bring on the customers. Jim Kan, Mark Hilal & Mark Potter wait to be of service.

We got help from many members - including a visiting Rotarian - Jania Taylor from Archibald, OH. Mark Hilal made sure she had beads to enhance her smile.

Jania Taylor took on the daunting task of Sno-Kones or was the challenge to get the syrup on the sno-cone and not all over yourself?

The second wave of workers came in - here ready to serve were Del Ingalls & Gene Klco.

And as the day progressed, a third group of volunteers took over - with Bill Blackburn on the Sno-Kones.

And the rest of the crew - Jerry VanSlembrouck, Dave Meyer, Jim Kan, John Johnson & Sarah Blackburn - held down the crowds until late at night.
