Clark_Air_Base_PhilippinesHappening_on_the_green_1990Chili_cook-off(smaller_file).WMV

One of the extra special things about life in the Clark Air Base/Subic Bay communities was the fun times to be enjoyed during a special event Known as "THE HOG." It was Clark's Happening on the Green. Of course many community events occurred at Subic. But, the HOG somehow turns out to be the event I documented in this 9 minute piece. Another event that was rather new, was the Clark Air Base Chili-cookoff.
Ok, Ok, all of this must sound quite routine and boring by today's standards for things to do.
But thousands of families overseas, away from home can become very creative, when armed with a remarkable tool like the inovative staff of a Morale, Welfare & Recreation Division (MWR)..
Let me take this time to THANK ALL M-W-R STAFFERS WHEREEVER THEY MAY BE, IN WHATEVER BRANCH OF SERVICE THEY SERVED, OR CONTINUE TO SERVE... THANKS!!!
While the "wild soundtracks" of kids laughing and folks screaming on rides has been overdubbed with production music, the message of "Goodtimes in Paradise" is not lost.
The original tapes of the chili-cookoff have been located. And I am presently editing a FULL version of that event, to give even more insight
to how we all enjoyed the Philippines experience while it lasted.
This is how many of us shared great times during our stay in paradise~~~until Mt.Pinatubo bidded most of us GOODBYE...
Enjoy!!!
