Report from Swede Gustufson:
Betty Ann has been working diligently on getting all the parts and pieces together regarding the show. She has met with the Southgate Mall office people three times, picked up all the tubs of information from the storage shed and gone through most of what is contained in each tub, ordered new ribbons, show entry tags, entry tag ribbon awards seals, made up a bunch of awards seals, and is now in the process of getting these placed into one tub fro the show. I have helped when necessary when I am available from yard work necessities. We both came down with the Missoula cruddy cold that has been traveling about the local citizens but are now in the latter stages of this disease. Hope you people do not come down with this.
It's Their Birthday!!....Let's Give 'Em a Cheer!!!
