MEOTA — Well, we got some clouds but nothing in the way of rain. The high winds on Saturday afternoon may have moved swaths of canola, if any is down. We don't get winds that strong very often, thank goodness for that.

Aug. 25 with three tables in play, top were Linda Ard and Jean Lawes with Mary Phelps and Gerry Craig coming second. This is always a time of good fellowship.
