was the best represented in the Fourth of July Parade
this year. Leading the parade with banner held high were
members Dave Rooker and Mike Ryan. Our entries included
the Clowns, Charlie’s Chippers, Glad Red Hatters,
Kitchen Band and the Olivedale Bus. And that was in
addition to the Park Department entries!
The
Olivedale Clowns sing and act-out routines with skits,
music and song. They are volunteers who represent
Olivedale to the community by visiting nursing homes and
schools. Using lots of color, noise and balloons they
are ordinary people who transform into outgoing,
extra-ordinary entertainers with the addition of clever
costumes and a little make-up.
The
clowns "fished" for giggles and guffaws as
they led the Olivedale entourage from a fishing boat
secured to a boat trailer. They sported fishing poles
with colorful fish attached. Olivedale appreciates these
volunteers who go out to make others smile. New and
"used" clowns are welcome. Anyone interested
can call Lloyd Wasem at 740-654-0731. He sounds just
like a regular guy on the phone, but wait until you see
him!

The Kroger Gift Certificates have a second
purchasing option. You can still purchase the $10 and
$20 certificates at Olivedale and use like cash when
shopping; or you can now buy a $10 card (credit card
size) at Olivedale and increase its value in the
check-out lane. All proceeds still go to Friends of the
Park. You keep the card and use it again and again with
your card “recharging” done at Kroger rather than
purchasing new certificates at Olivedale each time.

| Greeting
from the Director |
Have you ever seen so many
American flags as there were in the Fourth of July
parade. It was a great parade and
we saw many of you waving from the gallery. Shall we all
remember that the Fourth of July is a date. Independence
Day is the holiday and that which we truly celebrate.
Those of you with access to a computer jump on the web
and checkout our new site at www.olivedale.com. It is
completely new and features our current calendar of
events as well as updates. It is in the beginning stages
so watch for changes. We will be adding more information
about activities and many more pictures.
When I was a kid, our hog roasts were all day affairs
where the hog was put underground on coals. It is good
that someone else is doing the roasting for us. I am
looking forward to my first here at Olivedale, hoping
for good weather and to seeing many of you on the 24th.
