15th EVART ROUNDUP
June 5 - 8, 2013
Held at the Osceola
County Fairgrounds in Evart,
Michigan
Evart is located in the center
of the lower peninsula.
The Fairgrounds is 1/2 mile west of the Evart
traffic light on US10
We would like to thank everyone for attending and teaching at the Roundup
for the past 14 years. It has been a wonderful, rewarding time. Due to health
concerns of the folks who have always handled the Roundp, it is time for
us to pass the chips on to someone else to continue the event.
With great pride and pleasure we would like to let you know that
Floyd Rhadigan has offered to keep theRoundup going. It will be the same time
as always and will be kept as close as possible to the way it has been. There may
be some changes but all for the good of the Roundup. It will now be known
as the "EVART ROUNDUP" and Floyd Rhadigan will be the organizer.
Thank you everyone for a great 14 years with many more to come.
We will of course be there to help where we can.
Bob and Sandy Holder, Virginia Huffman and Judy Morgan,
Jim and Barb Graham, John Crawford and Rod and Susal Walker.
