| Something not often seen in the area, a Bocce Balll Tournament. | |
This accordionist played favorites for early comers, while the Bocce Ball Tournament was ongoing. | |
But finally, Tournament over, the food began to be the highlight of the day. And refreshments as well. | |
There were many food offerings at many tables ... something for everyone. (Many times over). |
| And still more food offerings. | |
And Gemignani’s even offered pizzas, with custom toppings, cooked on a special portable oven on a trailer in the parking lot. | |
The musical highlight of the day was incomparable “Bandi di Polka Piu Pericoloso del Mondo”, The World’s Most Dangerous Polka and Variety Band, with Jim & Teri Enrietti, Don Masnado, Jack Chamberlain, and Jan Arnold. | |
The beginnings of these parties, goes back to 1919, when the Daughters of Italy formed in the Range Towns, and held get togethers usually twice a year. |
