Rockpile – 9-14-2016
Bowling will shift into full gear now that the kids are back in school and fall is in the air. The gals league started up already last week. We’ll see how the averages are this year with the new synthetic lanes. I am hoping for a nice increase of scores. Time will tell!!
What a beautiful weekend for our Rustic Lore celebration!! The weather was about perfect and Glenwood City was a busy little town!!
Cheryl and I would like to thank the Rustic Lore committee for picking us to represent our town as the Grand Marshals!!
There were many fun activities. We went to the queen coronation and we were really impressed with the field of candidates that ran for the queen of Glenwood City. What a great selection of candidates! All eight girls were terrific in the talent that they displayed. Congratulations to Queen Emily Hill and her Court!!
After the Grand Parade, we had over 100 kids participate in the Kiddie Tractor Pull.
In the Battle of the Businesses,” Darin Smith who represented “Obermueller Trucking” won for the second year in a row!! Great job Darin!!
Also a huge thank you to Bill and Sharon Miller (sponsored by the Tribune Press Reporter) for letting us ride on their beautiful horse carriage. Your team of Percheron horses were amazing!!
