4th Tie-Dye, Oh My!

Thanks to Jackie and Larry Klopps for hosting their annual 4th of July party at Klopp's Beach. It was a beautiful sunny, breezy afternoon. Many people showed up who haven't attended recent BBYRA events. So attendance was very good. We had three gas grills going. The variety and diversity of the food was terrific.

Unfortunately, no-one took photos of the event. Too busy eating, apparently.

But afterwards, some of us continued on to the home of Craig and Gloria Drake. Gloria set up a tie-dye in the back yard. Gloria prepared bottles of various colors of dye. She provided t-shirts, small stones and rubber bands to enable the "tie" part of the process. Then we all proceeded to "dye" by squirting the colors on all parts of the tied off shirts. The process is somewhat messy. But it's a lot of fun. Some had their own tying technique. Other's relied on luck to produce an interesting design. Here are some photos from the Drake's backyard tie-dye.
