Many thanks to our hobo friends from around the country who came into town for the Casey Jones Hobo Gathering. We had a great time! Many thanks too for the hospitality extended by Alexandria Place who hosted us to lunch on Friday. The Serenity Singers performed for the residents and that was a real treat. The Serenity Singers also sang at Cheyenne Trace Friday morning so we got the day off to a great start. Friday afternoon we spent the afternoon at the Village and had perfect weather for the campfire that night. Several members of the Plectral Society came and joined in on the musical entertainment. Saturday morning we had a nice ceremony at Casey Jones' gravesite led by Redbird Express who always does a great job. He and Lady Nightingale, Spike and Lady Sonshine (reigning National Queen of the Hobos) all participated in the ceremony. We had a wonderful rest of the day at the Village with the closing campfire Saturday night. Norma and Lawrence Taylor do a great job hosting the event at the Museum that is also sponsored by the Old Country Store.
