DECORATED GOLF CART COMPETITION AND PARADE

July 3 – TT Chesapeake Bay sponsored a Decorated Golf Cart Competition and Parade on Friday afternoon. There must have been 20 – 25 golf carts and bicycles participating. Ken served as one of the judges!! It was really difficult choosing the winners, there were so many extravagantly decorated carts!!

Here are some of the participants.

Bicycles. We didn’t get a picture of the bike winner, but the bike looked very much like this PLUS four big red, white and blue balloons on the handlebars.

Ken is having too much fun being a judge!!

Gilbert who is always challenging Ken to an unfriendly game of Pickleball and Jenny who compares knee replacement surgery with Ken.

Billy Babb in his utility Golf Cart.

Ru our Assistant Manager. The sign, “WE MISS YOU, ELMO” is in memory of Elmo who was a fireman killed last year in a motorcycle accident on I-64. His golf cart was a winner in last year’s parade. Elmo was a Pickleball player. In fact, he was in the process of having Pickleball courts put in at his local recreation center at the time of his death.

Judge Terry is our Manager here at TT Chesapeake Bay. Judging must be a FUN job!!

A golf cart of a different kind!!

Tabatha is the daughter of our good Pickleball friends, Amy and Tom. She is the cutest thing.

Our friend Judy and her grandkids did a great decorating job. And look at that "little Princess"

Melissa and Eddie bring up the rear of the parade.

These are your JUDGES!! Terry, Ken, and Lisa.

Fellow Pickleball Player, Scott is the big winner!!! Congratulations, Scott!!!

COOK OUT AT MIKE AND DIANE’S

Friday afternoon before the Fourth, we got together with Mike and Diane for a cook out. Everyone brought their own entre and a side. Mike prepared it all on the grill. He was very proud that he was able to prepare steak, two kinds of shrimp chicken strips all at the same time on the grill, and have them finished at the same time. He’s thinking he should become a chef!! We think so too!!! Good Job, Mike!!

The Guys - Jimmy, Mike, Eddie and Ken.

The Gals - Diane, Linda, Debbie (Diane's friend from Manassas), Delores and Faye.

THERESA AND JOHN COME TO CHESAPEAKE BAY

Friends, Theresa and John, came back to Chesapeake Bay for a couple of nights. They were “seasonal” campers until this season when they left the Park. They rented a cabin while they were here. We were very surprised when they brought us two large crab cakes and fish fillets for our dinner one evening – actually, it was enough for two dinners!! Thank you guys for a delicious dinner!!

One of their last experiences when they leased a site at the campground last year was a limb fell off a nearby tree and totaled their car!! We took pictures to support their insurance claim!
