This past weekend was the 3rd annual Wagner Farm Bonfire. It has always been a staff and visitor favorite (We had 1,480 s'more roasters in attendance). This year we were somewhat apprehensive because the weather report had the whole day as rainy. While the morning was overcast as evening came the clouds cleared and we even ended up with a perfect starry night.
Last year one of the local reports joked with us that we really should not have called it a bonfire since the size of the fire was closer to that of a campfire. Poor Joanne took it pretty hard so Jeff and I decided to make a real "bonfire"! We stacked and stacked and ended up with a pretty big pile. The permit we pulled from the Glenview Fire Department stated we are "not to exceed 50 feet" After all our work we were still a long ways from the dreamed of 50 feet. At 6:00 Jeff lit the fire and the crowd got to enjoy the dancing of the mighty flames. Another great bonfire at Wagner Farm
