Burlington Berry Dairy Day parade, What? One of the kids and one of the dogs are in the parade? There goes this weekends fishing trip. I wonder if there is a group for fishaholics going through withdrawal, maybe a ten step program or something. Three weeks! I don’t think that since I turned 10 years old or so (which I might mention was 40 years ago) that I have gone 3 weeks without some sort of finned pursuit. Oh well, someday the kids will look at these times and know that we supported their activities…or not.
Burlington Berry Dairy Days is a family-friendly festival and was established in 1937 by the Burlington Fire Dept. It is a celebration of Burlington’s farming heritage. Celebration or not, apparently my schedule was not considered when planning this year’s event. I had planned to fish all weekend. Friday afternoon was scheduled for last minute trip planning, loading the boat and getting the gear ready. Saturday, we had planned to fish for sturgeon and Sunday a family day picnic and kokanee fest was on tap. My new schedule is as follows:
