Stories
Rotary Family Fun Day August 24, 2025
The Rotary event at Goebbert's Farm was very fun and based on the private dining building that was reserved for the Rotarians = Well Attended!  Ellen and I took our 2 oldest grandchildren.  They enjoyed the day, albeit a bit nervous around the giraffe.
 
The first photo of the hog riding extravaganza was to be put into the bulletin at the request of the District Governor.  No arguing with the DG!  Then things got interesting...the second hog riding photo was to be put into the bulletin at the request of the rider's wife!!!  Again, no arguing with Ellen!
 
Pumpkin smashing T-Rex.  Shelled corn mash pit.  Mini Excavators (Ellen had to drag me away from that one...).  Mini train ride.  A grain bin that had been converted into a bar.  Talk about vertical integration!  I passed...   And more...
