Did we have a picnic or what???
Our spring picnic was a success to say the least. The weather cooperated pretty well. A little windy but the temperature was pleasant. We had trouble getting a count on the number in attendance ( they kept moving) but I know I counted 95 at one time. Probably safe to say that we were bumping a hundred. As is usual we had a bunch of good food that sure hit the spot. Delwin and crew done a good job cooking the hamburgers, sausages, etc, as usual.
The Sauerkraut Omp Pah band done a superb job of playing music as usual. They have a lot of fun playing their music.
Our First in house fund raiser auction was a success. We raised, $781 Not bad. The high point of the auction was a model hit and miss engine machined out of walnut, hedge, oak, etc. made by Ernie Loganbill. It brought $160 at auction but then the buyer said he was prepared to pay $200, so he did. It was purchased by Jack Garner. I understand Verla Dean told him not to come home without it. Everyone had a lot of fun and I want to thank Larry Frederick of Frederick Auction and Realty for helping Jimmy and I. Guess I better thank my two grandkids, Bryce and Cayln for helping to show the items.

New 1 day show
Wall Mart at Coffeyville wants us to bring our stuff and come to town. July 12 is the date most useable for all. We will discuss this at the meeting before the show date. They will furnish popcorn and oil and they are willing to do some advertising . Will be a goodwill gesture on our part to participate & will get us some good publicity. Keep it in mind and mark your calander.

Strange as it may seem the Antique Tractor & Engine Club and the Church of Christ have a great deal in common. This would be that both are in the restoration business. Much pain and effort is often put forth in these old tractors implements and engines, etc., in our club. In the same way the church sees the need to make every effort to go beyond modern day religions. Back to the 1st century and the New Testament Pattern for worship, doctrine, teaching, entrance in to his church, and living the Christian life.
Please feel welcome to attend. Check us out. See what kind of job we are doing with the restoration of the 1st Century Church in the 21st Century.

Hey Ya All, Listen Up
Marjorie Gorby has volunteered to supervise a baked food sale booth. She needs some volunteers to bring baked goods to be sold as a fund raiser. This would be a method to raise some building fund money for the new show grounds. If you are willing to help her in the booth or to bake some goodies give her a call at 620-725-5448. This won’t work without some donated goods. Don’t forget we are selling popcorn this year. Will need some help
poppin and sellin.
