            On Saturday, Garretson resident Colleen Collier celebrated her 60th birthday with a party that was a year in the making. She invited friends and neighbors to join her for an "inflatable" birthday party, but it wasn't one with the jump houses- she asked everyone to wear an inflatable costume.

            They met down at Split Rock Park in perfect weather with record-breaking warm temperatures, and had a blast running around until the minute pirate bugs (no-see-ums) began to attack.

            Collier was in fine form in a white unicorn inflatable, while family and friends wore costumes such as a blue dragon, Mr. Potato Head, alien, and Elvis.
