PLOW DAYS April 10 at 9:00 AM

Our club is invited to the Kenny Maxwell farm, north on M62 at US 12 Edwardsburg. The farm is on west side-watch for a sign.

CENTREVILLE FAIR PARTICIPATION UPDATE

The Fair Board has made changes for our club’s display and activities at the fair including relocating us to the old kiddy area which would cause older people to walk quite a way to see our display. The club’s board met and unanimously recommended we not have a display this year. It was voted on by the members at the February meeting and unanimously upheld. Anyone with ideas of what our club could do in its place (not necessarily at the same dates as the fair), please share it at a meeting. One idea shared is to have more participation at the parades.

Below are dates in which Leroy has events scheduled on his (show ground) property so we can plan anything we do around these:
April 29th – May 1st
June 3rd – June 5th
July 1st – July 4th
Aug. 11th – 14th
Sept. 2nd – Sept. 5th
October 7th – October 9th
Mud/sand bog dates are every third weekend beginning in May, possibly through October.
