Report from New Richmond, Wisc.

After an overnight trip from Dubuque through weather one of the bus drivers described as "monsoon-like," the Colts arrived at the housing site in New Richmond, Wisc., (just over the MN-WI border from the show site in Stillwater, MN) about 6:30 a.m.

Snack for the corps on the buses consisted of 3 cookies each plus meats leftover from the concessions at the home show to make sandwiches (thanks Cathy!).

Menus
Breakfast

Egg wrap
Bananas and Melon
Leftover donuts

Lunch
Chicken sandwich
Raw veggies and dip
Pie (leftover from the snack that didn't happen Monday night in Dubuque)

Dinner
Fish
Cole slaw
Potato cheese bake
Corn
Dessert (to be determined)

Snack
Must go (a Colt favorite)

Special note: The cooks could still use fresh fruits and vegetables. And although we hate to say it, they're running low on cookies, so you can start bringing them again.

Special thanks to the family (I'm sorry I didn't get the name) that brought 8 gallons of milk in Dubuque. Thanks!!!!!!!

I can't believe they are running low on cookies. Surely there must be some left over from last year - or from 2002. Did they check the oven under the griddle? Or the bottom shelf of the freezer? - Jim J.
