On August 13, 1983, an organizational field day was held at D&D Holsteins with about 20 families and 5 AI organizations present. It was agreed to form a club and a board of five was elected to write by-laws for the club, set up future meetings and look into having a show. The original board was: Dale Wolf, President; Rudie Spitzer, Vice President; Dennis Gransee, Secretary; Jim Post, Treasurer; and Ronald Machachek, Director. The first annual meeting was held in Faribault, MN on December 3, 1983. A committee was organized to set up a Red & White Show - the first Red & White Show was held at the Steele County Fair in 1985. The club voted to join the Minnesota PDCA in December 2002. Minnesota has been host to two National Red & White Conventions in 2004 and 2011.
