the new parade route: Clarke Blvd, to Georgia, then right to the United Methodist Church. This route was just the right length for our parade participants, especially the ones with little legs! Epsilon Chi thanks each participant and a big thank you to the community members who lined the streets. Thank you for your support and for the applause and cheers as we passed. On July 4th, our members manned the concession stand at the Walketon Little League park during the All-Star Baseball games. Later in the day, members of Epsilon Chi manned the Tri Kappa booth at John Glenn High School for the July 4th activities. We thank the community for their support when they visited our stands. July and August will find Epsilon Chi members putting the final touches on the Tri Kappa budget for this year, manning the Little League concession stand until the final tournament game, and enjoying the remaining summer days until once again, we meet for our regular monthly meeting. Enjoy your summer Walkerton! See you in September! Pumice is a rock so light it can float. It was once volcanic lava filled with gasses, when the gasses escaped, they left millions of tiny holes filled with air.
