The
Ox Cart is Rolling! August 2003 Issue All the hard work by the members of Ox Cart Trails Historical Society paid off as the museum had over 400 visitors during Riverfest. Memorial funds given in memory of Vandell Anderson were used to purchase
the A baseball display has been donated by Myron Albrecht and includes scrapbooks,
photos and other memorabilia. This is a great addition to the other displays
in the museum. The heritage quilt was won by Carol McConnell from Colorado. There have been many requests for another quilt and a decision will be made at a later date. Thanks to all that purchased these raffle tickets and supported this project. Our commemorative ornaments have been selling very well and are still available at Valley News and Views, Drayton Bank, and Agri Valley C Store where many travelers are picking up this souvenir from Drayton. You may view these on our web site www.oxcarttrails.net. Lauraine Snelling's seminar had 32 writers in attendance. The topic for
this seminar was Hands on Fiction and, as a result of her last seminar
from two years ago, Gene and Lu Lusty have published a book about their
own heritage. A copy of this book has been donated to the museum. Lauraine's
book signing and talk were well Our float in the parade was a result of borrowing an oxcart. We hope to have one of these in Drayton. You may view this float, Lauraine and Wayne Snelling on the manure spreader, and the many other entries of the parade on the Drayton website. Our latest projects are to landscape, put new siding on the museum, get
the electricity up and running, and install a heating source, ramp, and
security system in the building. If you would like to help out with any
of these projects, feel free to call on one of the members to offer your
assistance. We will be scheduling work nights soon to complete these and
other projects. |
