SPRING STATE MEETING AT ALTOONA

If you were not at the Spring Meeting you missed a good time to wear your western attire and enjoy “How the West was Fun”. Thirty-one coaches were in attendance including our area reps, Guy & Marianne Andenoro.

A tour of the Salisbury House was taken, which

was modeled after the King’s House in Salisbury, England, There were many pieces of aged materials used in the construction to create an authentic English manor.

Friday evening after a huge potluck dinner, Cowboy Bob entertained us with his tall tails and hilarious stories.

After flapjacks and sausages on Saturday morning, we all went to visit Trainland U.S.A. in Colfax which is an operating toy train museum displaying Lionel trains and accessories representing three eras of time; frontier, steam and diesel. It was fun to locate the points of interest in each state as you went along, as for Iowa; it was the Sioux City Stock Yards, windmills, etc.

Did Cowgirls Janet Walderbach, Betty Eklofe, Shirley Little

and Mary Frisbie just get thru eating ice cream?!

The afternoon was enjoyed by an ice cream social provided by Farm & City Insurance Services. After a catered meal, we watched caricature artist Steve Baier draw his rendition of several couples. We had some good laughs watching him draw, making the couples being drawn wonder what the end result of their picture would look like.
