At the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa

59 degrees in Spencer, IA
 Saturday night - got here at the Campground adjacent to the Clay County Fair about 2 pm Friday - drove most of the day after we had toured Winnebago Industries in Forest City, Iowa that morning.
We had spent the night in the parking lot at Winnebago Thursday night.


We toured the Grotto at West Bend, IA on Thursday afternoon.




Had toured RR Museum in Boone, IA as well as Mamie Eisenhower Birthplace Museum - and eaten supper with and spent the night with Bill & Twila Oberholzer.  Rained pretty hard that afternoon and through the night.

We played Pegs & Jokers with Bill & Twila in their trailer Wednesday evening.






Thursday noon we visited Betty Schneider at her house in Fort Dodge, IA and had lunch with her.  She spends her winters in Kenwood RV Park in Texas near us.





Have listened to a lot of "free" entertainment that went with the price of entrance ticket to this fair.  It has way more agriculture exhibits than we saw at the Iowa State Fair last month and probably 4 stages with rotating entertainers as well as many circulating the streets during the day.

Will put some more pictures next time I post, maybe when home and on much more open internet connection.

Will pull our trailer out of here on Tuesday and head back to Clarinda.

Later, Lynn
