The May rally was a great success thanks to Greg and Bettie Wessel and their team of Rem Remley, Judy Hohl, and Chuck and Lois Blodgett. Parking was a breeze and the facilities were wonderful. After settling in on Thursday most of us headed to a great restaurant in Oldenburg for a wonderful dinner. Friday greeted us with perfect weather and a wonderful pancake breakfast prepared by our hosts. Next up we visited one of the first and only remaining woodcarving business in Indiana. Weberding's Carving Shop was founded 70 years ago and remains a family owned and operated business specializing in wood carving, custom made furniture, statue refurbishing and church furnishings. Their pieces are prized and located all over the world and you may have seen them with out even knowing it while visiting churches around the country. Next we headed to the Sherman House for lunch (yes more food) and a presentation by the owner. The Sherman House was built in 1852 by John Brinkman and was most likely called the Brinkman House. The name was later changed to the Sherman House in honor of General Sheman and his contributions in the War Between The States. It turns out the hotel is also haunted and has been featured on television. His presentation was most interesting and I'm sure I'm not the only one that felt that cold blast that went through the room before we left. The rally continued with Saturday highlited by a visit to historic Metamora In. by some and a wonderful chicken and noodle dinner prepared by Bettie Wessel, assistant rally masters.
Once again a great time in southern Indiana!
