Save the date Oct 5 2019. 9:30 am to 5:00 pm
Just north of West Union,IA

All attendee's will be entered in a prize drawing. Drawing items will include at least one chainsaw, one hookaroon, one timberjack 2 cycle oil, bar oil and other items. No one will go home empty handed.

An all home cooked meal will be provided by Jan, Pulled pork, chili, homemade bread, homemade corn bread, slaw and potato salad.
Be thankful Jan is cooking and not me!

We will have fresh spring water from the spring on the property. Coffee and soft drinks too.

Bring your favorite saw/saws to show off and use for making the firewood pile grow.
We will be cutting down a fair number of trees. Many are healthy, a few are in bad shape and some are dying. There are several trees that are already down that need to be cut up and a few with wind damage. They range in size from 4" to 35" in diameter.

If somebody has a chipper they could bring that would be great. We could sure use some mulch for around our berry plants.

Please RSVP by pm. I will provide the address and directions if needed.

Thank you we are looking forward to meeting you and learning from your experiences.

ps Tall tales are allowed during lunch.
pps We have arraigned for overflow parking at a spot just down the road from our place.

Thanks again,

Are you by Eldorado then? That’s a couple miles north of west union. Either way that’s only 30 minutes from me.
 
are you right off 150 or off on a gravel. I'd sure like to come help you out if we aren't chopping. you have to be close to Harold Spies's north farm

Just off 150 on Nature Road. Some of the locals call it Auburn Road. It takes you to Auburn and St. Lucas.
We sure would love to have your help.

Awesome!
I’m currently waiting for a service guy to fix a flat tire on my Escape. While waiting for him i called and made an appointment for Wednesday to get my brakes on the truck fixed. Yesterday I could make a right turn just by using the brakes.
