    This may sound corny (no pun intended), but it really was similar to the movie in a way. I was a little aprehensive about what people's thoughts would be about it and did not know how much time to schedule there. I thought perhaps folks would look at the site and say " Yep, that's it. Now what?"

    As soon as we parked, the kids ran to the field, followed by the adults. Others quickly seated themselves in the small bleacher section. Soon after, a few other visitors came along and asked if they could join in. It was kind of like those pick-up games we remember as kids.

    When I first volunteered to host the Gathering, I had not even considered the Field of Dreams. It was Allan Sellers who brought it up in a conversation, just assuming we would go there.

    I have lived here my whole life and I had never visted the Field until a couple weeks prior to the event, to map out the route.

    In the past, all of my vacations were designed to travel "somewhere else" until a few years ago, I went totally local and found a lot of places near home that I never went to before. I was very glad that I visited them.

    Jack hosted a great show!! When we first arrived at the "Field of Dreams" Jack said I think I'll call the restaurant and let them know we will be early. After us kids(young and old) got out there having a great time I think we might have been a little late. My kids and I loved it and I saw a few Srs. out there reliving the glory days.:thumbs2: Great cruise we attended, Farm toy museum and antique mall with a lot of automotive stuff. Beautiful show day park, Eagle Park, with spectacular views and sites. Thanks again Jack!

    Oh and watch the video of my son if you get a chance in case you ever wondered why they say adult supervision. Where were all the adults(or the one adult) when this was going on? :biglaugh:
