Ryder News Sep 26, 2019

Ryder News for Sept. 26, 2019 

Lots more rain from Friday through Saturday last week as my rain gauge showed a total of 2.80 inches. This makes for a whole lot of rain in the past few weeks, probably around 5 inches or more all total. Sure does green up the grass which means that I have to mow again. I think I’ve mowed more the month of September than I did all summer!! Speaking of summer, what happened to it...did we have one? 

Side by Sides line Ryder’s Main Street.
There was a Side-by-Side fun run on Saturday and Ryder’s Main Street was lined with these machines. It was a good thing they all had tops and sides on them as the one lady I visited with said it was cold, wet and muddy! They rode from Benedict, Douglas, Ryder and then back to Benedict. 

Kathy and Dave Kimball spent last week with their son Carl, Crystal and 3 kids Matayah, Avery and Ean Cree at Great Wolf Lodge in Minnesota. They thoroughly enjoyed the water park and so many other things they had for the kids along with many trips to the Mall of America. They had a great time and spent lots of money!! 

Looks like this is all the news I can scrape up for this week. Remember, I need your news if this column is going to continue.
