Flakesgiving 2020

With another year behind us, I want to share two sad stories from Saturday.

We had great weather on both days. And because we did the event as a drive-through this year, I got to see a lot of kids in car seats. Although I've always enjoyed this event, seeing so many kids whose families were getting meals made me happy.

I usually try to thank everybody involved in Flakesgiving after the event has concluded. But this year, I'm saying thank you early. But I don't know all the names of everybody to thank.

Challenge. That's the right word for Flakesgiving this year.

I went through my kitchen drawers to see if I owned a potato peeler. I didn't. Fear not, my friends. One is on its way to Mark's house. One of my mottos is "Work smarter, not harder." That's why the "Rotato" is coming to my kitchen just in time for the holidays.

We finally have some answers for you about how and where we will give our trip to Mexico away. And we also have a place and a plan for Flakesgiving.

Well, here's the latest: The official review says that Riverstone Health does not approve event plans. What they do is make recommendations on the event itself for health and safety.

I snapped a picture after the Huntley Project football game in Townsend last Saturday. If you're a sports parent, you completely understand the emotions.

We should get some new guidelines on the COVID-19 restrictions so we can plan the Flakes trip party. We also have some Flakesgving plans that we want to announce.

You may have heard that the Metra told us that we would not be able to have Flakesgiving there because of the current county health protocol. Don't panic yet.
