Hello friends, 

It’s been over a week now since our July 4th weekend cookout and we wanted to thank you all for heading to town.  The town was abuzz with new business.  Even people who decided not to stay for the event left town they had nothing to say but compliments.  One man yelled out as he ran out of town: “This town has the biggest bunch of mouthbreathers I’ve ever seen”.  I’m not sure where other people breath from but I’m sure that was a compliment.   Not even thesecond biggest!!

Over the next year, the town will see some changes.  For example, the All-Starfish resort has already announced they may consider getting new sheets.  So, if you want to see those powder blue terrycloth sheets from 1981 one more time stop in to the All-Starfish.  Thats what happens when you fill all 6 rooms for 3 days straight.

But in the meantime, this years celebration was a blast.  Many of you heard our town represented on the”ALL ABOUT THE MOUSE” Disney podcast as Bryan and Jonathan took over our airwaves for a bit.  Jeff Pepper of 2719 Hyperion showed us some great Disney 4th of July paraphernalia.  The other Jeff, Jeff W from the Snowy Tundra training site gave us a nice look down memory lane. DOC from the Disney obsession recounted their trip to our beautiful town and Ryan from the Main Street Gazette gave an indepth examination of the American Adventure show.  The Imaginerding boys brought along some cool vintage Disney maps and Those Darn Cats gave us their thoughts on what a 4th of July celebration needs to be.  Finally, Jessica from “If we can dream it” provided our fourth of July fireworks and they were a blast.  Be sure to visit all of these friends.

We are looking forward to next year.

Here is a letter from Fred Appleton.
