As we are rapidly approaching the end to the wet summer of 2010, things continue to be busy here..........had a great weekend last week and then went into a schedule for this week that is going to keep everyone on their toes.........
.......as many of you know the 2010 Farm Progress Show kicked off yesterday........just east of here on highway 30...........with West Central hosting a customer appreciation dinner in our lodge last night......catfish, steak, pork chops and lots of sides and appetizers ......smelled and looked wonderful........had a couple of hundred here for the night........great bunch of customers and also had the pleasure of meeting a lot of the West Central gang.........and they too were a great bunch to be with.............then the rain came in about 8 pm last night and dumped a couple of inches........
......I saw on the news this morning that the start time for the Show was pushed back a couple of hours to allow all the vendors time to get dried out and ready for today's crowd..........
.....if you haven't seen the location for the Show........it is BIG........looks like a city popped up.......and man do they have a lot of high dollar state-of-the-art equipment being shown and demonstrated..........it is amazing what technology has done to and for the ag industry.......
......this afternoon two more companies........Vetters and LTK........are hosting their customer appreciation in the lodge.........should be another good time........and you know the food will be great cause it is being catered by Seven Oaks........
.......we get Thursday off........kinda.......to get ready for our Friday After Five...........with a blues band from DSM that has played here a couple previous times..........and then Saturday noon starts the annual 12 and 24 hour mountain bike race.........with a large wedding reception in the lodge Saturday night............and the race finishes at noon on Sunday.........in time to get the lodge ready for an afternoon wedding anniversary party/celebration in the lodge............not to mention the people that will take advantage of the sunny weekend to canoe, kayak and tube.........and yep, there will be groups at paintball as well as campers in the campground too..........whew.......
.......if you have never witnessed our 24 Hour Mountain Bike Race you should stop out for a little bit to watch the racers.........and the entire lawn becomes a weekend community as well with all the families, friends and support staff that set up their tents and campers for the event........it's fun........and the racers are their own breed of animals to race on the technical track for that many hours.........awesome........
.........ski and snowboard season passes for the upcoming winter season continue to sell.........still time but don't let the cutoff date for the sale prices slip by...........October 17 is the Swap and Sale.....starting at 10 am and ending at 5 pm...........another big day with lots of friends coming to look over all the equipment........both new........from Wayne's in Mason City........ and used......as a lot of our friends bring their used equipment to sell as they upgrade or up size for themselves......there are a lot of good deals that day............
