In all the years of roasting corn for Fun Before the 4th, a roaster break-down has not been an issue...until this past Saturday.  Imagine the surprise of our volunteers when the first batch came out raw!  The first shift of volunteers had plenty of wait time while phone calls were made to the vendor.  In the meantime, the engineers pondered and tinkered with the roaster.  A borrowed 20-pound propane tank finally produced enough heat to get the process back on track to satisfy the people waiting for that delicious roasted treat.  The vendor switched roasters in the afternoon, and we were back in business.

 

Kudos to the third shift for staying almost an hour past the scheduled quit time to sell out the remaining roasted corn.  

 

It's been a busy week in our community.  First was the farewell to Dr. Demond Means and then the dedication of the Re-Imagined Thiensville Village Park Children's area.  Rotarians were well represented in both activities.  Saturday was Family Fun Before the 4th.  Passing out the free ice cream has become a Rotary tradition.
