Winnehahas
State Club
By Barb Johnson

October is just around the corner as I am writing, temps are cooling off, time to prepare for winter again. For some of us, this means cleaning out and winterizing motor homes for storage and for others, it is time to head south to warmer climates.

We have had a fantastic year, lots of good fun and fellowship. We added six new members to our Winnehahas family. GNR was the greatest (also the hottest) event of the year. Thank you to all the WIT staff for all your hard work.

In August we met at Jerry and Char Otteson's farm in Mora. The weather was perfect. We went to garage sales, shopping in Mora, and played lots of games. It was a fun time. We had potluck for Friday's supper and went to a restaurant for Saturday's supper. There is a racetrack nearby and many went to the races.

In September, we celebrated our 40th Anniversary at our State Rally in Cambridge, MN. The theme was "40 years of RVing together." We ate, played games, did some crafts, played golf, played beanbag baseball, visited, listened to good music, and, of course, ate again and again and then played more games! The Oldie Wed game was a crowd favorite. There were 64 units in attendance, we elected new officers and had a fun casino night and auction afterwards.

As we start out on another "40 Years of Traveling Together," we wish everyone safe travels over the fall and winter wherever you are. We look forward to a big turnout at the Pleasureland RV Show and Tell in St. Cloud, MN in April. We will kick off the new season with all four clubs together again. Visitors are always welcome, so feel free to join us at anytime.
