[AT] Portland Work Day

[Gene Dotson]

    Charlie;
    Everywhere around eastern Indiana  is wet right now. Will be at least a 
week before any field work will be done in this area. Had unusually heavy 
rains the last 2 weeks. The warm temperatures and strong winds will dry 
things a lot. On the way home in Mercer County, Ohio, I did see a few 
tractors in the fields. Saw more fields where one pass had been made and the 
tractor parked waiting for things to dry out some.
    The area for the new dock will be fine in August with drier weather.
    Best answer I can offer is to invite you to join us and experience first 
hand see what a great show there.

                    Gene
