On Labour Day weekend, the gang from Comox
Street (Twilight Zone)
revised a long standing LPCC tradition which
has gone on since 1996. The
"Zonies" planned and organized the annual
Twilight Zone Pot Luck Dinner. The Zonies all gathered on the
road ( no where else can hold us all !) in front of Len & Heather
Edmunds lot and ( with heart felt thanks to the ladies) feasted on
everything on the menu including corn, b-b-q
ribs, meat balls, lasagna, salads, breads,
desserts any other number of
treats and goodies! The dinner was revived
this year having lapsed for a
couple of years as scheduling, attendance and
of course, weather issues
forced cancellations.
This year, seven pic-nic tables and three fold
up tables were required
to hold all the food and revellers as a total
of 31 people attended the
dinner !! The older photo, shows one of the
dinners from roughly ten
years ago. Note that there were only about a
dozen people in "The Zone"
in those days and only three pic-nic tables
were needed to accomodate
the whole crew!. My how times change! We were
also missing a few Zonies
for this dinner and by count, had all showed
up, we would have easily
had 40 persons for the dinner !
The diners were treated to speeches (
thankfully SHORT !!) from Len
Edmunds and Gary Saunders. New Twilight
Zone campers were officially
welcomed to the area. Long standing
Twilght Zoner George Butler also
delighted the assembly with a humourous tale
of how the nick-name
"Twilight Zone" came into being for this
particular corner of the camp
ground. Even the rain Gods saw fit to
give us a couple of hours grace
from this otherwise lousy summer as the
afternoon was sunny, clear and
warm!
The picture of the five "children" is unique
in that these are "kids"
of Twilight Zoners and have been coming to
LPCC, some of them since they
were toddlers!! In fact, two of the "children"
in the photo are now Moms
& Dads themselves! As the song goes, time
keeps slipping into the
future!
In the photo (left to right) are: Jessica
(Tanya & Gary), Andrew (Cathy
& Kevin), Michelle (Sharon & George), Dwayne (
Don & Kendra). The short
fella in back is B.J (Bill & Mary).
A great time (not to mention a great
tradition) was had by all !
