I LOVE VERNA FEST

 We actually arrived on Thursday evening after a few detours, I forgot about what season we were in here...... ROAD WORK/DETOUR 
 Verna Fest was established in 2010 to honor and remember Verna, Margit's (aka Telma) mother.  A way for the younger generation to get to know her and remember her.
Marcia had this sign the 1st year, it was not as 'finished' as it is now and always a welcoming sign...
 Telma og Lovise won the MN Twins contest with these 2 lovely matching dresses purchased at Walmart for the vast sum of $7 each.... We got 2/3'rds of the see no, hear no, speak no evil monkeys as our reward, next year they will be passed on to winners in another Twins or similar catagory
This lovely trophy, dubbed Lucille (in honor of Verna's good friend and bingo buddy Lucille) will be given next year to some lucky participant in a yet un-named category.  I am not a VERNA (only blood line can be Verna's) so since I am Margit (Telma's) partner in crime I have been for the Verna Fest been dubbed Lucille #1, I am HONORED!!!
Tomorrow Telma og Lovise will hit the road early to head to Decorah IA and from there till Oconomowoc we might be found anywhere...... Since it is late it is not time for Lovise to hit the rack got to be out of bed, showered, packed and on the road x 10!!!
