Off to Pickleville!

Brad invited me to join Shae and Angie Hunsaker on a day trip to Garden City to see "The Hanging of El Bandito" at Pickleville Playhouse.

Since we had tickets for the 1:00 p.m. show they picked me up at 9:30 a.m. and we set off for the north country.  It was fun to get to know Angie better as we chatted on the ride up to Logan. We stopped at Einstien's in Logan for cinnamon/raisin bagels and juice before continuing on to Garden City.

It was my first trip to the Pickleville Playhouse established in 1977 by Grams and Grandpa Larsen, relatives of my boss, Paul Larsen.  It is a rustic intimate theatre located near Bear Lake.

 It was fun to see so many familiar faces:  Whitley Osborne, Megan Bagley, Eric Sackett, Derek Davis, Jessica Jenkins, T.J. Davis, and Whitney Davis.  They seemed genuinely excited to see familiar faces and to have us in the audience.

 After the show we were hungry so we drove back to Logan and went to one of Angie's favorite "Aggie hangouts", Francesco's for their lunch special:  a 6 inch pizza and salad.  It was delicious!

All too soon I was being dropped off at home and the rest of them continued on to Provo.  It was such a delightful way to spend a summer's day!
