Ah well, you know how they are "You be careful out among them English!"

Wearing your Raccoon headband...no question! I am sure your attendance added an air of elegance to the ball game and fish fry ! (Hope you had a good time and your team won!)

That’s pretty much my hat, but mine is a little lighter in color. We have a friend that does beautiful fur work. Beau gives her his racoon hides as they’re not worth SPIT these days. My hat is made from one he got a few years ago. She is currently working on a vest for him from other raccoon hides he’s culled through the years.

Barneveld Eagles WON! (We knew they would...)

When we went out to dinner before the game, (Ope Pub) the place was full of snowmobile riders and they are always a fun bunch! The Military Ridge State Trail goes right through Barneveld and is used for snowmobiles in the winter months, though they have to share with the cross-country skiers. I’m not sure how that works out, LOL!

If anyone is a Weather Geek Historian, Barneveld, WI was totally DEMOLISHED by an F5 Tornado on June 8, 1984. It hit at 1am, so it was pretty devastating. 93 homes were destroyed and nine people died. :(

Anyhow, the town rebuilt and is better than ever. A guy I used to work with was the manager of the only Bank in town and after the tornado went through, all that was left was the giant SAFE from the bank! Just the safe, surrounded by rubble.
