Yesterday was a sad day for the Ben East carnival crew and Rock Harbor interpretation in general; we lost the first member of our family to the cruel chill of oncoming fall. Sam Case, our resident painter, photographer, coffee brewer, paddler, and SCA interpreter left on the Ranger III yesterday morning. It's a heartwrenching sight, watching someone vanish into the blue yonder with the stretch of water growing between you. Casey let out a few howls of grief. We did get this excellent group shot previous to his sad departure, totally proving our place as the park's most photogenic department. 
At our end-of-the-season interp party (theme: America) we got another fabulous group shot: the entire Snug Harbor interp team (theme: Awesome) including our valiant leader Liz from Mott, and Steve, housemate to most of us. The photo also features Leah's and my cardboard guitars (we are so productive in our time off.)
In all seriousness, I would like to say a giant thank you to Andrea and Liz, definitely the best bosses I have ever had, and all of my housemates and coworkers, who have made and continue to make this a truly incredible place.
Some shots from the America Party up at the Ben East, attended by the above photographed people, Pete and Marshall, and Paul, Scotty, and Steve from the Ranger III, as well as my visiting friend (the menu featured watermelon, grilled cheese, cheesy taters, apple pie, smoked salmon, macaroni and cheese, brownies, chips and dip, and many other delicious goodies):
I forgot to mention the tiny cheesecakes.There were tiny cheesecakes. And they were awesome.
The sole representative of the color green was the macaroni and broccoli salad from Paul; we went truly American-style, baby.Stay tuned for a new post coming soon: Tomorrow is the big Dennis Long ceremony at the new rec hall, which Snug Harbor is revving up for.
