Hello there neighbors. Wow are you as busy as I feel I am? Seems there
is always something to do or to go check out. This was one of those
weekends where there was plenty to choose from!
This was the last
weekend of the Wi Quilt Shop Hop, if you went around the state looking
at the different stores were you surprised how different they all were?
How about the great folks that worked at them? Talk about some really
wonderful people! Also talk about goodies to drool over! Wow! I was
really good and really just focused on getting the blocks that the
stores offered and looking at the different projects that everyone had
to offer. Don't worry I took notes on what I want and who had it! LOL
Two of my favorite new stores are Heartlight Quilt Shop in Ladysmith-
You can get hold of Kathleen at www.heartlighthouse.com and Bolts of
Fun Quilt Shop in Thorp- you can get ahold of Sandy at
www.boltsoffun.com. Yes they are alittle ways away. However they are
both worth the drive! Sandy has the cutest dog! Kathleen has amazing
old quilts all over her porches!
A big thank you goes out to
all the folks that helped put the Sawyer County Breakfast together. Wow
they really did a great job getting all of us through the food lines! I
was amazed how many people showed up as it was raining- however that
did not dampen anyone's spirits! We met some new people at the
breakfast, even someone who reads my column, hi Phyllis! Such a small
world we live in! It saddens me that the dairy breakfasts are now over
for the year- it does make me start dreaming about next year tho! I
don't know why the food taste so much better when someone else cooks it
or when you eat it outside! I look forward to seeing you all again next
year! Remember to thank the farmers for all their hard work when you
see them!
Speaking of things that are held only once a year I
hope you have your projects ready for the Washburn County Fair! The
fair is right around the corner July 26-29, 2012 at the Washburn Fair
Grounds in Spooner. You can get all the entry forms on the computer
at www.washburncountyfair.com, the registration deadline is July 13.
If you are going to be submitting entries for the Sawyer County Fair,
the fair runs August 16-19, 2012 in Hayward. The registration deadline
is August 3, 2012 and all the info and forms can be found at
www.sawyercountyfair.org. We are big supporters of local fairs and have
been entering projects in them for 10 years now- its not just for the
young kids you know! Hope this is the year you take the big step and
enter something, you will have fun doing it and you might even win a
ribbon! See you at the fair!
A big thank you goes out to the
Shuman Cattle Company in Hayward. They had us all out for a pasture
walk on Sat and about 70+ people showed up! They have some beautiful
animals, very calm for animals that size! Tweed and his family did a
great job at making us feel welcome, showing us around the farm,
letting us see how they still use horses to move the cattle and letting
us ask questions! They served a delicious lunch for all that attended
as well! Great job guys! Thanks for hosting a pasture walk! If you
missed this pasture walk there are others scheduled, if you need an
Agricultural Newsletter give Kevin or Otto a call at the Ag Station-
715-635-3506.
