2021-9-25 Geneva State Park Anniversary & Chili Cookoff Rally

 This is always a fun time. It's Loren & Mike's anniversary and chili cookoff rally. We went on a covered bridge tour but ran out of time and had to cut the trip short only seeing two bridges. The first was fairly pathetic and the second was the cream of the crop and supposedly the best bridge on the tour. So we only saw two but they were the worst and the best. We also did a craft project which Loren conducts each year at this rally and we did cups per a different method from last year's cups. Also in the great little touristy town of Geneva-on-the-Lake there was a VW Bug car show called The Bug Infestation! HA! So several of us went over and checked that out. We covered most of the show and then the sky opened up and poured for a bit cutting the show short. But it was still neat seeing all those VW's.
