Stanley Fair Event

    We had a great time at the Stanley Fair on Saturday. Everything worked out well. The drive there along the Nashwaak River was very nice and wonderfully scenic, blending extremely well with the beautiful day.

    Once we arrived in Stanley we met up with Terry and Karen and Larry and Sandi who led us into the fairgrounds. So in total we had a great turnout of 10 cars of all marks. Once on site, we were parked alongside the agricultural barn and had a fair amount of walk by interest in our cars. 

     As expected there were many things to do including, checking out all the various agricultural animals in the barn, taking in the horse pull, always a popular event, view the exhibits in the exhibit center, see the popular antique agricultural motors, buy home made goodies and preserves which many of our members did. There were so many things to see and to do. Oh yes, there were 3 places to eat on the grounds including 2 food trucks as well as the fairgrounds cafe. All had great choices judging from the reports coming back from our folks. If there was one issue it would be that the weather was too nice and finding shade became a roving game of chasing it with our foldable chairs. 

  

     So all in all we had a great day all the while contributing in some small way to a wonderful and worthwhile community event. 

     Again, thanks to Larry and Sandi for organizing this annual event for us. 

   Best,
