Winner winner chicken dinner!
This past Saturday was a great shop tour at Steve Hansen's of Chanute.
We had demonstrations, along with some great food and our usual
camaraderie. My hats off to Steve and his family for their hard work
bringing it all together & the delicious food. I also thank the
demonstrators for that day: Dave Sloan and Andy Garrett, they shared
some valuable information. We did our usual Iron in the Hat raffle and
raised $148 for the Kirk's and $25 for the KCKA. We had two new
members sign up with a 3rd person who attended stating he'd be joining;
please welcome Claude Campbell or Meriden, KS. & Robert Schornick
of Yates Center, KS. as our two newest members. We had a total of
13 KCKA members in attendance with an overall total of 28 people
signing in. The KCKA member ship now stands at 37 strong, not bad for
not quite being two years old!! The arctic cold front that came through
that day helped lower the temps from 100+ to the mid 90's so it was a
very nice day for a shop tour. Until our next shop tour, take care & be
careful.
Thanks,
Dan
