9/2/1968 |
11 Bellaire Dr, Scotia NY |
Claire Grocott |
The Bellaire neighborhood had a tradition of holding a
"Labor Day picnic" each year at one house with all of the
neighbors invited. I recall having such parties at at least
2 other houses. The 1968 picnic was held at our house, and
may have been the last such event. I don't recall if there
was one in 1969, and by September of 1970, we had moved
away. |

A number of games were arranged. This one involved tying
a small balloon to your foot and then trying to break
everyone else's balloon while preserving your own. |

9/2/1968 | 11 Bellaire Dr, Scotia NY | The men's event. Note the beer next to the log for each
contestant. They had to drive the nail all the way in, then
drink the entire glass of beer. |

I think this was the final round: winners from the kid's,
men's and women's events competed for overall champion. |

complete without it! |

9/2/1968 | 11 Bellaire Dr, Scotia NY | Although the neighborhood parents were decidedly not cool
[this was 1968, after all], to our great surprise they hired
a local rock band to play at dusk for the picnic. I think
the band was named "The Cow" or something just as weird. |
