Our volunteers worked to bring up lineshafts, pulleys, and bearing hangers to the Big Engine Shed. We will be hanging the shafts and pulleys in the machine shop part of the building.

I have a Question for the public. Does anyone know the name and phone number for the Gentleman and his wife who comes to the Albany show every year with rock samples? I enjoy visiting with them every year and think the sharks' teeth hunting for the Kid is a great thing to have. But, as a lot of you may know I have a very poor memory for the Names of people and as they are a Demonstrator to the show, we don't seem to have their information written down anywhere.
Thank you,
Alan

🌾 Give the Gift of Grain this Match Day! 💚

Farmers know the power of a good harvest — and now your grain can help grow a stronger community. Through the Gift of Grain program, you can donate a portion of your crop directly to your local community foundation, supporting the causes you care about and receiving valuable tax benefits.

Here’s how it works:
🚜 Deliver grain to your local elevator.
💚 Transfer ownership to the foundation.
📈 The foundation sells the grain — your gift qualifies for the match and supports local impact!

Talk with your elevator or advisor to learn how you can turn your harvest into hope this Match Day. 🌾✨
