I hope everyone enjoyed the show and I hope all went well at the HOF ride. We had tons of people come through on Friday and
we had close to 60 JD snowmobiles on site for the show. We consider it a success for the first year and had an overwhelming positive
response on the show. I'll include some pictures of the show before it started on Thursday. It was great seeing all of you and thanks for
all the support!

Joe,

Thanks for hosting a wonderful show. The JD Sled Riders are a great bunch. The Thursday night get together was especially nice. Look forward to doing it again.

Excellent job to all involved. It was great to see so many nice sleds representing most of the models. I was there Thursday and Friday meeting board members for the first time. There were so many, I can't remember everyones name. There were a few retired Deere employees that were telling great stories, sharing information about development and testing.

This 91 year old Evelyn Schendel of Horicon on my LX. She is the original owner of my sled
and came to see it Friday. She is the grandmother of a friend and member of my club.
The sled was found about 2 hours north of me this spring.
I thought it was a neat side note.
