[b:vrhc45yq]SPRING PLOW DAY 2005[/b:vrhc45yq] 
 
[b:vrhc45yq]Blane Bolte [/b:vrhc45yq]has graciously offered to host us this [b:vrhc45yq]Saturday, April 2, 2005 [/b:vrhc45yq]at his farm just east of [b:vrhc45yq]Walcott, IA[/b:vrhc45yq].  The starting time is approximately [b:vrhc45yq]10:00 AM [/b:vrhc45yq]and we will be having our noon meal there.  
 
[b:vrhc45yq]Directions:[/b:vrhc45yq] 

Take the Walcott exit off of I-80, head south to the T-interesection.  Turn left (east) and go approx. 3 miles to our plow site on the south side of the road.  There is a large white grain bin on the property and I'm sure Blane will have something sitting out to identify this as an Oliver plow site.
If you need more directions or have questions please call Blane at 563-381-3693.
 
[b:vrhc45yq]Meal:[/b:vrhc45yq] 

Potluck, if your last name begins with [b:vrhc45yq]A - L[/b:vrhc45yq] please bring a main dish to share, if your last name begins with [b:vrhc45yq]M - Z[/b:vrhc45yq] please bring a salad and/or dessert to share as well as a drink.  Everyone will need to bring their own table service, and portable seating (folding chair, lawn chair etc.) is a good idea too.  There will be electicity available if you want to plug in a crock pot or warming device of some kind.
 
Blane does not have a loading dock, but is planning to have a lift tractor on hand to help with unloading plows.  The weather report for this weekend in Blane's area is [b:vrhc45yq]GREAT!, [/b:vrhc45yq]however if by some chance it will not work Blane has picked the following Saturday, [b:vrhc45yq]April 9, 2005 [/b:vrhc45yq]as his rain date.
 
PLEASE pass this message along to everyone you can think of who might possibly be interested in coming!
