September is always a great time for COMAG to get together for their annual tool swap. Thank you to the Douglas family for hosting us once again. These guys always make tool swapping so easy and so much fun and.. not to mention all of the yummy food and drink makes for a fun social gathering.
This meeting discussion was pretty sweet and simple. Most everyone was tinkering with the tools and good foods and good friends. We discussed the success of our annual show and reminded everyone to think about the upcoming elections. We always can use a few good volunteers...if your up for being a part of your community, step up...we could use your help!!
The best part of this meeting was honoring our dear friend Pete Small and doing a memorial metal pour in his name. It was a great demo to watch how beer cans be easily melted and poured into a sand casting mold!!
