Grandpa Earl's Shop Picnics - IDORA PARK





I remember how we looked forward to Grandpa Earls shop picnic at Idora Park every summer.  It was a big ordeal and all day outing.  Grandma would get the picnic food together and the large thermoses for the famous orange aid which was free..  It was a family affair with all the relatives from Youngstown meeting at the picnic pavilion. We were not really interested in eating we could not wait to go on the rides and what we would ride first.  Grandpa would see his buddies from work and was proud to introduce his family to them.  The men would later disappear into the beer garden.  I remember the adults later would be in the ballroom where there was a band and us kids would slide on the wood floor.  Later as pre-teens Bev Kelner took Cindy, Kim and I to see Bobby Sherman at the same Ballroom
