The Polk’s done it again!
The Central West End (once Washington Heights) picnic was held once again in Forest Park on August 19, 1990.
This year, it was held to honor Michael Whitney Polk who died in an unnecessary traffic accident with a drunk. Michael had helped with the Community Picnic for several (since he was 6) years.
There were the “usual”—hot dogs, and soda; plus the “usual extras” of salads and goodies brought by neighbors and freely offered. Then there were “Fred” and “Friend”— horses stabled nearby (in CWE with a lot of care, attention and savvy!) who helped to teach that animals are—like people—fun!
The 58XX block DeGiverville kids gave us a masterly demonstration of “Double Dutch!’ Makes walking to school—one foot after t’other seem easy!
There were also volleyball games, and bag races. Pets were in evidence.
The Polks (movers and shakers) say “thank-you” to all—the businesses and neighbors who made it a good picnic.
And a special “how-de” and tip of the hat for Helen Hodges, for help with the B-B-Q. Tasted good!
And for the clowns: Bring Back The Clowns!
We luv-em!
