Tuesday, August 21, 2012, was a rousing success and day of celebration…what with Monkeyblues’ victory and birthday…and the brief visit of our first resident adventurer and explorer, Essex60 (who, hopefully, will stop by whenever he has a layover at Ballard Airport). And, everybody did a tremendous job and took their civic duty as seriously as they should.
Special thanks to Susan Sunshine for her talented signage work and the tastiest birthday cake going! To Storm for organizing the parties and keeping everything going and an amazingly efficient clean-up! To beviek for her organizing EVERYTHING that was organizable, and then still insisting on worrying and pitching in even when injured in action! Speedy recovery to you, Bev !!
Also, much gratitude to Linguist for supervising the polls, contributions to the campaign fund and especially, contributions to the party fare!! To Redkaycei Repoc , for providing great music and organizing transportation! (That fancy car has to go back today, Red, but they said we could have it again on the Ballard County Sheriff Inauguration Day.)
A BIG thank-you to x-Tech for all the tech support throughout the campaign and for supplying emergency exclamation points to Susan Sunshine, without which she would have been stopped in her tracks!
And, thanks to all who made the extra effort to get out there and VOTE for the best candidate (Monkeyblues , of course!) Essex60 , via absentee ballot; IMudd, who ventured out of the Berkshire Mts. in eastern Ballard County; happyathome, representing the Northwest Ballard Territory, Molly McGee, a staunch supporter who just may enter the political arena herself!
And, to BatPug and Lt. Horatio Canine, who both put in countless overtime hours and volunteered to work for free, well, the new Sheriff couldn’t ask for a better staff! (I’m going to have to borrow some extra exclamation points from SS ….hope she still has some left !!! .)
Please, if I’ve inadvertently excluded someone, feel free to add the list.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NOW…….. stop partying this instant. I just received word from the BSCounty Commissioners: they’ve scheduled the swearing-in of the new Sheriff on Labor Day!! That means a swearing-in ceremony, parade and inauguration ball to plan….in a week and a half!!! (those exclamation points were the last I have — glad I saved them. memo:MUST contact SS or x-Tech. ) Now, as I understand it, because it’s a holiday, we do have until tomorrow at 5pm (PT) to petition for a new date. So, there you have it. It’s been a flurry of activity all summer, and I think we’ll all need a vacation after this.
