I would like to congratulate American Legion Post 23 on a job well done with their open house July 2nd.
I'm sure everybody, including the Canton followers, went home with a good impression of Post 23 and Garretson.
Seeing the banks filled with spectators, kids running about and the smell of burgers and dogs on the grill reminded me of the "Old Pomp Room Slow Pitch Tournament" back in the day. The only thing missing was the galvanized wash tubs filled with ice and your favorite beverage, if you know what I mean.
When the course of tradition was changed by changing winds, you didn't drop anchor and live in the past.
Instead, you set sail for a different course and old treasures were renewed.
That being volunteerism, socializing, patriotism, and respect.
Again, job well done.
-Tom Godbey
