Steam Signals - February 2010 Newsletter

Our Annual Meeting of the Lake of the Woods Steam and Gas Engine Association has been scheduled for 2:00 PM, Sunday, February 21, 2010 at the Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church, located on Rocky Point RD (County RD 17), 6 miles North of Roosevelt.

As usual, there is much business to discuss in preparation for this years show; election of directors, discussion of work that need to be done, ways to improve our show, along with good fellowship with old and/or new friends, and of course enjoy some good refreshments. There may also be some discussion about what additional types of fundraising can we think of to help support our annual show. Bring your ideas.

Also bring along any of your friends who may be interested in exhibiting, playing with or just looking at any of the Old Tractors, Cars, Engines, Farm Equipment, and other Old Stuff that was used many years ago by our ancestors on the farm, home and etc. Perhaps we can encourage them to become members of our small, but great, organization.

Call Troy Comstock at 424-7455 or Steve LaDuke at 386-1302 or William Olson at 442-6381 for more information about our association and our show.
