The Prom featuring CAVES ON MARS
| June 15, 9:30 PM 
The Prom, when all of Gardner comes out looking good, as if that weren't the case already. I will be once again looking for that perfect statement to make on this night of dresses, suits and hats. Last year, I miscalculated. In my zeal to turn out in white and strike a crisp and clean edge, slightly aloof, yet cool and confident, I somehow stumbled upon 'pimp'. It was the hat. I was doing it perfectly, but then, the hat. It's like having a single thread out of place - it can ruin one, and create a pimp. I think this year I shall go for gangster 20's or Paris in the 90's (1890's that is) and hope I don't stumble upon Laurel and Hardy or worse, Harpo Marx. Knock on wood. (Rick points to own head).

| Solstice Party and Beer Breakfast |
8-10 AM, Saturday, June 23
$11 Breakfast Buffet & First Beer
Special appearance by The Millers River Morris Men
First 75 people receive the commemorative
Solstice Party and Beer Breakfast 12 oz. pilsner Glass.
All this for $11 and you want to sleep in?
Each year we celebrate the sun's highest point in the sky by waking early and exercising our God given right to drink well before noon. Our motto becomes: "It must be 8 o'clock somewhere." At this gathering of the faithful we serve our "On Tap Now" beers plus our Espresso Stout and Orange Hef. Lovers of The Hef, lovers of good coffee and just plain lovers will attend. And also attending, always attending, will be 8 or so old men (it makes you old) of the Miller's River Morris Men, of which I am a member. And you know what Grocho Marx had to say about any group willing to admit him. The same applies here, regardless of the actual fact that I joined them and too many years ago to remember why or how to escape. These intrepid dancers of a tradition so old that even they cannot remember its origins, will dance at 9 AM sharp, because the Morris is nothing if not prompt (should begin by 9:30 anyway). They've been known to tipple a little too, but only to enable certain of their functions still asleep at the ungodly hour.

Ale House Birthday
| Saturday, June 30 with Boot Hill Express, Birthday Cake
Complimentary birthday cake during the day. Our 6th birthday is Saturday, June 30. And who among you actually believes this? You are disbelievers because you sit firmly on both sides of the fence. It seems that the Ale House has been here forever, and it seems like only yesterday. My friends, the truth lies exactly, somewhere, approximately, in the middle of the two extremes, aka 6 years. It has meaning only in that most restaurants are gone by now and we are not gone. Come on out and help us celebrate with Boot Hill Express. These boys whoop it up and they are old so you will have to help them a little. |
Ah Ciao!

 June is just nuts. Don't tell June. Thanks for being there. Rick Walton Always Here
