So, in Walker Creek, there's this tradition called the Community Dinner. There's no set schedule for it really, it's just kinda like...whenever the people in charge feel like it. It's usually a few times every year, once a month at most. I usually went to them but never really liked 'em. They'd invite everyone in town to a big dinner in Waterfield Park. The people were weird, talked in such a fake way. Like when you tell a stranger about your day. It was that kinda thing. Always struck me as odd since usually everyone is so genuine. Then there'd always be a speech from the Mayor or whoever organized the dinner or both. They'd say stuff about how much they loved the community, how honored they were to be a part of it, how they loved to host all these wonderful people at the dinner, etc. Dull and boring. The food usually sucked too. I still don't exactly get the point of them, I guess to celebrate the community and whatever. I had community spirit in Walker Creek as much as the next person but it always felt just, a little too far. But I guess every small town has quirks like that. Hopefully you found this interesting.
