In September I posted on Facebook a photo album of the Amery Fall Festival. The birthplace of both my parents was on farms withing five miles of Amery, Wisconsin. Many of my cousins were present for the annual festival. I hadn't been there recently. After the festival, many more of us gathered at my cousin's farm near Balsam Lake, about ten miles north, for a reunion. The reunion may become an annual event. We're all getting old.
The moment was at the food fair after the parade. Thousands swarmed the stands; churches, small town community clubs offered their best. Besides the sight and the aromas, I saw a wide community that had revived. It wasn't that great ten years ago.
