Fair and Better than Fair

Well, the State Fair is over for another year......we have disassembled the booth and are ready to set it up on the ISU campus Wednesday for the 2010 ISU Welcomefest.........a place where all the freshmen can congregate to learn about the ISU community.......and we'll be there......

.....the State Fair was a hoot again this year........got to see a lot of Seven Oaks winter patrons........skiers, snowboarders, snow tubers........and many of the summer patrons that have canoed, kayaked and river tubed with us this year and years past...........had several stop to say they loved the lodge for their class reunions.........several of the mountain bikers stopped to say hi and to discuss the upcoming Labor Day 12 and 24 hour bike race..........our 8th Annual race by the way..........and even had some stop by and try to talk us into having motocross races again!!

.....the fair can be a long 11 days of 12 hours in the booth but the opportunity to see so many of you and to answer questions that a lot of Iowans have with regard to who Seven Oaks is.......what we do.........where we are located......is always a big reason we are there year after year.........in fact we have been at the state fair for nine years now.......time flies.......

.....and speaking of fairs.......the river and weather is better than just fair right now........perfect comes to mind.......great temps now......river has the sandbars exposed for floaters to use.....and lots of sunshine..........It's my opinion that the next two to three weeks will be better than we have had all summer........did you see the predictions for this coming weekend? ..........sunshine and 90 degrees...........Wow.......that is GREAT weather conditions........there is still time and still room to book your float that mother nature made so difficult for you to take in June and July.....call today to book your group.......or just yourself........

......even with summer still on our minds we are getting mentally prepared to transition into our winter fun..........yep.......some are already purchasing their season passes now.......

......in a couple of weeks I want to go to Minnesota to look for a second used snow cat........I don't like having just one as if it breaks down at the wrong time it leaves us in a situation we don't want to be in.......we take great pride in our daily grooming the the snow conditions......so we want to be sure we can always groom when we want to and need to......and a breakdown of just one groomer could jeopardize that........we'll keep you posted if we find what we are looking for......geez.........in less than three months we will be blowing snow..........hard to believe.........

........remember our FAF is September 3rd........
