“Caddy Shack” was the feature film at the Ag Media Summit party by the pool Monday night.
For those of you who have seen the movie, you will likely recall the classic “doodie” in the pool scene. Organizer Diane Johnson, however, had never seen the flick – so when someone asked her yesterday if there would be Baby Ruth candy bars in the pool, she had no idea what they were talking about. That someone did see to it that there were candy bars in the pool – and Diane had the courage to actually play Bill Murray and take a bite.
Fun for all – until the hotel personnel told us to keep the food out of the pool!
Post Update: Diane informs me that the hotel people actually didn’t tell us to keep the food out of the pool – they just wanted to know how long to keep the bars open. Not being “party poopers” after all!
