Welcome from Arizona!

thanks for the info! We just might check out the music :) Any good places to eat in Guthrie Center? (It's been several years since we've been up that way)

There Primetime Restaurant and Breadeaux Pizza. Primetime has delicious food. Really busy on Friday and Saturday nights. The music at the fair grounds is called Guthrie's River Rukus.

Thanks so much for the info. Good to know that these places are busy on the weekend. We'll probably wait until Sun. night to eat out - after two nights cooking outside, I'll be read to be served!

Hello and welcome from Alabama

Heh, no kidding about rainsoaked! Hi from another Iowegian(never heard of that term- I always just consider myself an Iowan from the middle of nowhere). Greetings from East central Iowa, Situated right in the middle of four fairly populous metro areas- Quad Cities to the south, Dubuque to the north, Cedar Rapids to the west, and my hometown Clinton to the east. I live outside of Massillon, Iowa which is a tiny blink-and-you-miss-it town. This is my first post and I'm a new quilter. I big-time newbie. I'm what you might call a geek who was always into electronics and decided I needed a less expensive hobby <BIG TIME SNORT!> That worked out well. I've spent a fortune since I've domesticated myself. I am totally in love with quilting though. And now, since I've found this board, I can mix my two obsessions quilting and computers!

Hi and welcome. I grew up in Sioux City but now live outside of St. Louis. This site is great, you will love it.

xenodeno--Hello and welcome to you from an Iowa girl!! Have you gotten into EQ yet? I bought a rain gauge so it can quit raining. Farmer DH said get it put up ASAP!

oksewglad - I love your Avatar - is it paper pieced? Sure am enjoying this site!

xenodeno - Welcome! I hope you were not affected by all the flooding up your way. Sad to see the amount of damge. I'm in Cedar Rapids - we're still recovering from the June '08 flood.

Hi and Welcome. I haven't been here long but have found many very nice people here. Am originally from central Iowa but jumped just across the border to Minnesota when I married.
