Caption: “A guy named Joe, waiting on the last train from Dodge City...” Joe may have a long wait for a train from Dodge City to stop, but he is right on time to save our Baggage Cart from the ravages of time! Joe Trego and Richard Basore make a great team and the baggage cart project is proof of that. They have replaced the deck boards, prepped and painted the surfaces and made some other minor repairs. A final update will be posted soon!

We hope everyone had a meaningful Memorial Day! Our very own Joleen Ross shined as the speaker at our local Memorial service at the Halstead Cemetery, delivering speech that was truly heartfelt! She shared a powerful poem titled “Freedom Is Not Free” and the beautiful prayer by Pastor Edward Blanchette, Jr., from the Halstead Baptist Church was very uplifting. Larry Denno represented the American Legion as the Head speaker, inspiring all in attendance. Member Joe Trego proudly stood as part of the Color Guard, looking distinguished in his uniform.
