GUSHER DAYS IN OIL CITY

This whole week was an annual event in Oil City called "GUSHER DAYS". It celebrates the "old" Oil City, when wildcatters came to make their fortunes, and several indeed became very wealthy. Today Oil City is a small town, struggling with the same problems that exist everywhere else. This year's event was bigger and better than ever. Bobby spent the entire day helping me (Thom) and caught much of it on film. We have posted many of the pictures here to give "y'all" an idea of what it's like to have a celebration in a small, rural southern town. We have become proud to be part of this town, and are also proud to say that we are no longer "damn yankees", but just simple "yankees".
