July-August 2024 Chapter News
Since we last met, we have seen a near perfect growing season turn into a wet and flooded disaster. This not only affects the farmers, but sadly, it affects entire communities. So, in other words, we have not enjoyed the older cars as much as we normally would.
In May, we met at Sleepy Eye Country Club for a meal and a planning event. Then, shortly after the month of June came, so did the water and floods.
The Annual St. James Railroad Days Celebration was held June 22nd. The car show was held under the threat of clouds and rain but was not cancelled and went on with a less than normal attendance. The parade was a fair success even though it was rainy at first.
Our next event is on July 12th at Madelia. This is a very well attended event and parade. We are hoping for the rainy season to move out by then.
Rain or not, we are giving our best efforts to the Fall Foliage event coming up in September.
Farewell from soggy Southern Minnesota – Land of one very large lake!!
