Saturday, November 20th, Uncle Wayne and Aunt Doris hosted the annual Bon Fire and Hay Ride. Because of football games and other events, we can't seem to have it any earlier in the Fall. Sometimes, we've had snow flurries for the hay ride!
The stack of wood for the bon fire was huge. This is a pic taken shortly after the fire was started. For reference, the building on the left is the end of the pavillion. This end is two stories with sleeping quarters upstairs. The pile of wood was higher than the 2nd story.
Here is a picture of Jesse (6' 1" tall) and my nephew, Tyler, standing in front of the fire. The whole thing wasn't burning yet.
The flames were very high! You could feel the heat from 100' away!
Jordana and her cousin, Katie. Their great-grandfathers were Wagner brothers.
