Here we are in August and before we know it Labor Day weekend will be here.

Did everyone enjoy some of the county fairs, tractor shows and pulls? There have been more than enough to choose from and a few more to come. CIGC has more events to come as well. Our August membership meeting is Wednesday the 21st, 7:00 pm, Bonfield. On Labor Day weekend there is the Herscher parade and the club will participate in it. The real fun will be on September 7th at Rodney Schwark’s farm CIGC plow day. September 13th has our tractor ride to the Manteno Veterans Home. Details for these events will be finalized at the next meeting. Signup sheets
will also be available to RSVP for each event.

Are there any other members having a plow day or tractor ride this year? If so, we need to get it scheduled. Please remember, we couldn’t be doing any of these things if it weren’t for the dedicated men and women that defend our freedom. Some made the ultimate sacrifice or may have retired or continue to serve. They’ve earned and deserve everyone’s respect. Remember to pray for them and their families and anyone who has lost a loved one or is battling an illness.

Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann
