A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT:
Hello to all,
I can’t believe it is
June 1st already. That means
our show is only 46 days away! I’m
getting ready to send invitations to exhibitors once again so, if you know of
anyone that has tractors, engines, etc. just let me know their names and
address’s and I will extend an invitation to them to be a part of our
show. Thanks to all
who came and mowed the grounds and worked on the * porch addition. We can all be proud of our show grounds. Remember to bring your ads for the program
book to the June meeting. See you there!
Congrats to all families with recent college and high school
graduations.
Tom Swanson
*Tom (with help from Bob Folk) has worked very hard on the two new buildings at the show grounds. There is a new “milk house” that was completed and opened for display during History Day. The porch addition he refers to is on the new “Ladies Quilt House”. Both buildings are extremely lovely and a great addition to the show grounds!
THANKS TOM AND BOB!
GATE & PARKING:
Tom Nickle and Art Petty
need volunteers to help park cars in the parking lot and also to collect gate
fees as the cars come in to the grounds.
There will be a sign-up sheet in the clubhouse. Shifts will be 2-hr. shifts (unless there is
a shortage of volunteers that will extend the shifts to 4-hr. shifts) on

be a tent for taking money and handing out programs. We need a lot of helpers here……..men and
women. Please sign up or call Tom at

PINE CREEK & WESTERN R.R. NEWS:
Hi everybody! Not a whole lot to report this month, but Tim
Sering tells me he’s making headway on the new water tower, and, hopefully
it’ll be ready for the big show. Plans
are still in place to complete the renovation of the yards by the same time and
work days are being planned towards that end.
That’s all for this month, but as always, “Keep a close eye on the
water”.
