SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES:

A theme which could be as patriotic and proper on Flag Day, on Veterans Day, or the 4^th of July colored the sixth bicentennial conclave in April. “ Red, White, and Blue in 2002 “ found these colors on the tables inside the Hicks Hideaway Recreation Room ( really a fancied up garage. ) Small American flags fluttered around the lake and at the entrance to the compound.                                                                                                                                                      

A new coupling of wagonmaster pairs for the Newberry Springs adventure found Robb and Lenore Hicks happily teamed up with Ken and Betty Hanke.  The Plunkit competition was held on Friday instead of a weekend day for a change.  Another variation was the Saturday drive for main meal munching to Peggy Sue’s 50’s Diner for Burgers Fries, and mustache making thick, creamy milkshakes.                                                                                                                                                      

The Central Coast Hicks’ Jeff and Kim created as their drink of the day special heartily blended pina coladas.  Animated evening Bingo and a raffle drawing with a record set for the most prizes awarded for any HiRi party or affair at the desert closed a jovial day’s activity.
