Glenda and Lynn Burrows of Bloomfield finish up their day at the Iowa State Fairgrounds Aug. 19. Instead of “too hot” or “too wet” our day at the fair featured overcast skies and unseasonably cool temperatures in the upper 60s. On the bus and heading home from the fairgrounds Aug. 19 are Don

Abbas and Burr Brown, both of Ottumwa. We had a few sprinkles to deal with as the last few club members boarded the motor coach for the trip home.
