Winnehaha State Rally

September 10-15

Attended the Winnehaha State Rally held at the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington.
Thursday was spent touring Hastings. 16 people toured the LaDuc Mansion first thing in the morning, then had lunch at the Hastings American Legion that is right on the banks of the Mississippi River. From there we toured the Alexis Bailey Winery and had a few sips of Wine. Then it was on to the Little Log House where we got to see the fantastic collection of buildings and other memorabilia of the Bauer Family. Then it was back to the fairgrounds with supper at the American Legion in Farmington.

Friday was busy with several tours and in evening there was entertainment by an Irish threesome. Saturday we had tours of motorhomes provided by Pleasureland, a craft project, some seminars, etc. That evening our own Gary Staken provided the entertainment.

On Sunday most of the attendees left but a few of us stayed on until Tuesday. While the rest of them relaxed I went to work on Monday-Wedneday. After work it was fun to visit with everyone and play a few games of Social Security. It was the men against the women and the women did a great job of showing up the men.
