Like a Stump-in, this 1975 cabin ground-breaking party at the Brobergs' land in Old Frontenac, Minn., was one of those you-had-to-be-there events (or, you had to be a Sprick) to really understand it. Before the Spricks began their hole-digging frenzy, they had a ceremony involving gunfire, funny hats, live music, wisecracks and Lord knows what else. Why? Ask not why; ask, rather, why not?
Grandma Sprick donned a hardhat as she dug in. Seems like Florence, Joe, JoAnne, Marion, Alma and Tuk could have helped her, since she was 88 years old and all, but noooo, they just stood there and offered commentary.
Cousin Sam had just the right dead-serious, no-irony attitude, and just the right hat, for this gala event. Behind him were Wally, Marion, Annette, Alverna, Vi, Grandma and Joe.
Sam and Dan stood at attention ...
... and fired! Criminy! Hope they didn't hit anything.
This event also featured music by Chats Miller, who played a hot jazz flute. Pam stood by, offering commentary and being generally annoying.
