JULY/AUGUST 2018 GRANGE NEWS
Midwest Grange Leadership Conference
The weekend is over and boy oh boy what a super weekend we had !!!! The National Master was here from Pennsylvania. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan were also represented at the newly combined “ Midwest Grange Leadership Conference.” A really great time was had by all. Workshops, crafts, tours, super fellowship, meetings, then to top it off, a really nice worship service on Sunday Morning. A HUGE “THANK YOU” to Roland for opening his home up for everyone to come and see the Michigan St. Grange Museum . Everyone was so impressed by all the information he’s gathered there. Then to the young gal who showed us her horses and how she started her small business ( didn’t look small to a lot of us) a lot of hard work for her and family. To Home Grange for the use of their hall and to Jackie for feeding all of us through out the weekend. To Fredonia members that came and made breakfast for us on Sunday, to Kathryn, who drove over and did the Sunday worship service, And to all the people that gave up their time to come and help make it all come together!!!!! A HUGE THANK YOU. This is what GRANGERS do, we love to help !!! Connie, Thank you for a job So Well Done !!! You got it all set up and it was SUPER!!!! You could tell by all the super comments and happy faces as they left for their homes. I really enjoyed working with you !!! I met some young folks this weekend and was so impressed with all their knowledge of the Grange. I think the future of the Grange is Wonderful Hands, and I made some new friends with them !! Thank You !! So, as we say at the end of the day, its been: ANOTHER GREAT GRANGE WEEKEND!
Summer is finally here and boy have we had some hot weather!! I’m hoping everyone is enjoying either some kind of vacation, family gatherings or Grange outings. As a reminder don’t forget to start working on some of the entries for State Session. Now is the time to get your camera’s out and start getting some of your pictures lined up. Maybe you’d like to write a short story about a happening this summer. The Folk Art contest has several things you might like to do. Now’s the time to start. You can take your time and en-joy a great day of creativity. But don’t forget, there are many category’s in the Family Activities Department and the Agriculture Department and also the Deaf Awareness Department that you can look at and choose to do. If you’ve got a young one, look at the Juniors Department and have a Great time helping them do crafts for that department!!! I hope everyone has a super summer and what ever your plans are have a wonderful time and please be safe. Here’s to a fun filled next few months.

Did You Know… Horse and Carriage
The first baby carriage was made in 1733 by William Kent, an English architect. A miniature version of a horse-drawn carriage, this invention was hooked up to a small animal, such as a goat or dog, so the child could enjoy a ride.
