Festival Memories

B.C. Joins The Navy

Another regular at Bean Blossom in the old days was B.C. ______, who was a native of Brown County. I don't know what the "B. C." stood for, maybe is was "Brown County". B. C. was in his mid-20s and he was very thin and narrow and tall and he had extremely long legs. When he walked at his normal gait, it looked like he was loping. Somebody said that he reminded them of Ichabod Crane. He always had a smile on his face and was very good natured and he would stop around and visit with all the campers at Bean Blossom. His regular sidekick was a black dog named "Tyrone". We always looked forward to seeing B. C. at the festival, but one year he didn't show up and we heard that he had joined the Navy as a career. Tyrone didn't show up either.
