“Welcome to the family” goes out to American Legion Post 69 in Avon Park. Post 69 is the newest chapter of the American Legion Riders family. While they are a young chapter they hosted their 1st Annual “Old Fashion Family Picnic”. Special thanks to the American Legion State Commander Al “Gunner” Dudley and the America Legion Riders State Director Scott Grabner for coming out and being part of this fantastic event. We had Rabbit’s “famous” pulled pork sandwiches and Lane’s “notorious” chicken dinner. There was plenty of delicious food to go around. Naomi provided us with some great karaoke music. While there was horseshoes and other activities going on around the post, the highlight for me was the dunk tank. Yours truly volunteered to get in the dunk tank, and except for a few lucky throws I stayed high and dry!!! So if you missed this year’s picnic mark your calendar for next year and I will be back in the dunk tank and we will see if there is anyone out there with an arm!!!!
