Do you remember the school bus ride in our early days?
When we were young and foolish,
we thought we would never change our ways
Someone would save a seat, so with your best friend you could sit
And that ride to school was a joyful fun-filled trip
We talked about the future and we talked about the past
And never a thought came to mind,
that these wonderful times wouldn’t last
But we were young and foolish, and everything we did was fun
Nothing was taken seriously, as our young lives had just begun
The old bus was cold as ice; the heater didn’t work the best
If we were cold it didn’t show, no one would have ever guessed
But we were young and foolish and our cares were very few
If we couldn’t find something to laugh about,
we would pick something from the blue
The bus driver would catch us in the mirror,
and sometimes he would laugh with us
It’s a wonder we didn’t rear-end someone, and wreck the old school bus
But we were young and foolish, and good times were soon to end
Our care-free days would leave us, like rose petals in the wind
Then the day finally rolled around, when we would ride the bus no more
And now all that’s left is the memory, of riding School Bus Number Four
Evart School Bus Ride in the thirties and forties

THE 7TH ANNUAL NATIONAL NIGHT
OUT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!
On August 6th hundreds of Evart residents were “ticketed” by local
law enforcement officers at our 7th Annual National Night Out Block
Party at Riverside Park. These “tickets” gave people a chance to win
gift certificates for free pizzas, bowling, golf or one of the one hun-
dred school ready backpacks that were donated for the event. Of
course, at the end of the night our traditional grand drawing was
held in which six bicycles complete with helmets were won. The true
purpose of this event is to focus on making our community a safe
place in which to live, getting to know our local law enforcement offi-
cers and getting to know our neighbors better.
So in addition to winning prizes everyone had the opportunity to
meet and talk with Evart Police officers, members of the Evart Area
Fire Department, Officers from the Osceola Sheriff’s Department,
members of the Osceola County Emergency Management
Department and even officers from the Michigan State Police.
Local community services such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Youth
Attention Center and Eagle Village were also on hand to meet atten-
dees. The Evart Masons provided complete child ID kits to parents
and the Evart Lions offered early retinal screenings for youngsters
preparing to enter school or in the early stages of their school expe-
rience. 1016 Recovery Network was there with their vision impairing
glasses and pedal cars and a smoke house was available to learn
about house fires.
But the night wasn’t all serious stuff. Once again this year the fire
department provided water activities, there was a dunk tank and even
a scavenger hunt with popsicles! Let’s not forget all the food! Thanks
to the Evart Moose, hot dogs, chips and drinks were available to
everyone and what would the night be without Eric’s cotton candy?
A big thank you goes out to all who participated and worked to make
the evening a success. Special thanks to the local businesses that
supported this event. Thanks also to the Evart Chamber of
Commerce, Hinkle – Witbeck Insurance, Taylor Insurance, Foster’s
and Meijer; with everyone working together we can make Evart a
safer community.
Event sponsors: GFWC Evart Woman’s Club, Evart Police Department
and Evart Area Fire Department.
