Saufen Und Spiel Weekend-- Part 3: A Parade, DaBears and Chain Crawlin'

SUNDAY, September 10

Listened to Rock and Roll Roots and recorded Breakfast With the Beatles as usual.

We drove over to Sunnyside Tavern in Johnsburg to view the Saufen Und Spiel parade which passes right by the place.  The name Saufen Und Spiel is, of course, German.  Johnsburg and Spring Grove were settled by many Germans.  Saufen und Spiel means drinking and games.  And, we sure keep the tradition going.

It is a long parade with marching bands and lots of floats.  We went inside afterwards and watched the Bears game.  We lost, but at least didn't have to watch old pouty face, Mr. Jay Cutler, doing his pouting thing on the sidelines.

We were going to go over to the Saugen und Spiel grounds at the Community Club to see the band, but could find no parking places, so decided to get some Chain Crawl Passport stamps and drove over to the the Snuggery on the Fox River in McHenry and had a drink and did the same at Vickie's.

Capped it off at the PLAV, Polish Legion of American Veterans.

Good Time.  --RoadDog
