Meeting at the Fairgrounds for Chili Open Setup tomorrow. Due to construction at the fairgrounds the easiest entrance is Gate 2. If you are coming from Bagley on Eastland Rd there is a small sign indicating Gate 2, and it is past E Center St, and just before the light at E Bridge St. If you are heading North on Eastland from Fowles it is past Gate 3 that we usually use, and just after the E Bridge St lights.
Joyce Reed's table won the drawing and is responsible for putting up the banners and selling tickets next week. There are 5 cards left and the Queen is worth $1,828. No drawing this week as we'll be at the fairgrounds.
