Doug & Matt,

Thank you so much for the wonderful open house! The weather was perfect as were the many excellent displays of the many tractors, trucks, scrapers, logging arches, and stationary engines. I know it took a lot of work to put this open house together so thank you very much for everything!

Sorry I didn't take any photos; my neighbor (D2Don) and I were more focused on getting together with Jess Gilbertson to join the new Chapter 15. Mission accomplished!
