Uncle Sam Entertains in Shamrock Park

Decked in red, white and blue, a crowd of more than 50 people showed their patriotic spirit in Shamrock Park for "Uncle Sam Says."

Michael Blum dressed as "Uncle Sam" and led a game of "Simon Says," while  Katie Meadowcroft handed out ribbons to participants and first-, second- and third-place winners. 

Uncle Sam led three games for children ages 5-7, 8-10 and 11-13 and then a round for adults. 

Blum said the turnout for the game was far higher than previous years.

"Last year during the adult round, there were like five [participants]," he said.
