Thoughts on some great activities June 23

If Herb Maney were to put me in charge of social activities surrounding our June 23 planning meeting, here's what I would draw up:

Breakfast - eggs and toast at the Clearfield Diner.

Lunch - hot dogs at Herman's Hot Dog Stand - 15 cents, with or without.

Afternoon - swim party at Parker Dam.

Dinner - hamburgers at Accordino's Drive-In - five for $1.

Evening entertainment - sock hop at the YMCA.

Late night fun - pajama party at Peggy Jo's.

Late night dessert - chocolate chip ice cream from Clearfield Dairy

Next meeting at the Frenchville Picnic and the following one at a CHS wrestling meet at the Clearfield Amory.

See if you can top these ideas! All suggestions welcome

For now, see you at the planning meeting 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 23, at the Shaw Library.
