And A Great Time Was Had By All

   By now, you'll know I try to get in as many GX94 "Supper in the Field" events as I can (even though I was on vacation last week, and missed it). And with very few exceptions, all have been wonderful. Last nights, however, has raised the benchmark quite high.
   It was a long trip from Yorkton to Wapella and back to the farm of David and Marilyn Klinger, but it was worth the long day and drive. They were among the rare breed of repeat winners in the event, with their first going back at least (so I've been told) 15 years.
   Great hosts, and a very good group of friends were all at the supper, but Marilyn was probably the 'star' of the evening.
   You could tell she was super excited about having the GX94 crew in her home. And while both her and her husband were appreciative of the gifts from all the sponsors on board, there was one item she badly wanted that wasn't part of the prize pack.
   Working at a radio station, we all get gear with the logo on it, and a golf shirt Agriculture Director Rod McDonald wore caught her fancy. After quite a bit of cajoling, she managed to negotiate a trade to get it. Rod literally gave her the shirt off his back, in exchange for one with a Saskatchewan Roughrider logo on it:

   The problem is, Rod is a Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan!
   I just can't wait to see what happens next week! Hopefully, the rain will end and crops dry out so I can drive a combine like I did last year.
