Orion Beer Festival 2011































Well, Tonight we went to our last Orion Beer Festival.. Takayo bought me a Happy Coat to wear and came over and gave it to me, she wrote on the back of it for me in Kanji "Love Family Williams Family" and the Date and Okinawa.. I Love It and wore it all night... Kayleigh, Alex, Lonnie and I drove up to the USO and tried to get a cab..but it was so busy we ended up just walking the 15+ to get there.. At the USO we met Ron and Wanda Locklear and walked down with them and spent the time with them so the "kids" could go and hang out with their friends. It was so busy and crowded that it took us a good 45 min before anyone would "let" us sit with them... all the places were taken.. so, I was tired of standing and just went and started taking seats and we made our own place to sit.. and then the people that we sat next to were so nice they let us use the table with them.. and we all ended up having a great time. We took lots of pictures with them also. (They were from Mainland and got moved here after the earthquake that happend in March 2011) Wanda and I sat and watched people and Ron and Lonnie went and got beer. We ran into alot of people/friends we knew. When the festival was over there was a big fireworks show (9pm) and then everyone was to leave... oh, but not us.. Ron and Wanda took off and we hung out with Kayleigh, Alex and their friends.. taking pictures.. hoping into other peoples pictures... Lonnie getting "free" beer... haha.. the taking of flags... the walk home... getting home.. going back out to look for Alex's wallet... One night we will not forget... ok, I will not forget.. being the sober person has great reward.. No hangover and I remember everything that happend..HEHEHEHE !!! So glad we went !! One of the best Beer Festivals we have been too !!!
