It's the Calm
Before the Storm!
It takes a lot of work and many people to get prepared for the derby
every year. Sometime between jobs, derby drivers begin work on their
combines,
cars, trucks, or pick-ups. Also, it's the time when the Lions Club gets down to
"derby" business. This year the accomplished many projects. The fencing
project, which began last derby was completed just in time for this
year's festivities. Footings were poured for new bleachers, the
electrical service was increased to accommodate more food booths, and
general ground clean-up and preparation was completed. Always a good
job, and always well done!
