David Letterman announced his pending retirement this past
week. Here is a photo I found online of
what he looked like as a Freshman at Broad Ripple High School in Indianapolis, Indiana - in 1962 - the year that the Sputnik IV space debris
crash-landed in Manitowoc.
And in honor
of David Letterman, here are the -
Top Ten Reasons to
Attend Sputnikfest 2014
9. Get up close and personal with Elvis AND Star Wars characters at the same
venue.
8. Lots of free
entertainment on the main stage - watch the Alien Pet Contest and the Miss
Space Debris Pageant.
7. Enjoy great music
- also on the main stage and also free.
6. See the historically accurate (sort of ... a little bit
... okay, not-so-much) re-enactment of the launch and re-entry of Sputnik IV.
5. See people (and statues) in aluminum foil hats - and Aliens.
4. Sample an out-of-this-world assortment of edible
delights.
3. Shop hand-crafted artwork from local artisans or a unique
assortment of Sputnikfest merchandise, including limited edition posters by
Tina Kugler.
1. Have your picture taken near the brass ring that marks the Sputnik IV impact site - without having to dodge traffic.
See you on September 6.
Planet Terry.
