Hi everyone, time is flying by and the Black Swamp Driving Club is moving on! We have enjoyed several drives and are

August 5 is the Will Stevenson Drive. We have a start time of 11 a.m. This drive is held at Will and Shirley Stevenson, 1405 Eliza Street, Ft. Wayne, Ind. If you have questions about the drive contact Will at Willarockaway@ gmail.com. This event is always fun, Will has his carriages on display too. Always a nice event. There is a potluck at this event as well.

August 12 is Ada War Memorial Park. I do not have any details on

September 2 is the Ron and Sharon Hayhurst drive in Bowling Green, Ohio.

September 16 is the Parker Bridge drive hosted by Julie Emmons family. This drive is in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, with a potluck, usually starts at noon.

October 28, this is a newly confirmed drive. This drive is hosted by the Emmons and the Higgins, with a Halloween theme. The location of the drive is France Lake in Kenton, Ohio. I will report times and the GPS address in the next issue of the Corral. We are at a totally new location and planning is in the works for a great time.

I will do my best to confirm the details for our annual banquet for 2023. It’s fast approaching as well.

Roger Higgins Sr. sends a big thank you to everyone for the cards and attendance to celebrate his 90th. The cake was decorated with a replica of his covered wagon. It turned out great! Our club is unique in that we help each other, we are a team. If anyone needs help with harnessing or help with their vehicle there is someone to help. Julie Emmons brought her Percheron horse Mac to the Higgins Drive in Meeker, Ohio. Julie had help getting the harness adjusted just right and help getting Mac hitched to the carriage. We all pitch in wherever needed. I am very proud that team work is still alive and well. I have sent a picture to show the team at work. We enjoyed a wonderful drive down the country roads near Meeker. Thanks Julie for bringing Mac and the great time we had on the drive. It was enjoyed by all. The picture has Angie Hohenbrink at the head, Julie Emmons on the ladder making adjustments, and Connie Gillfillin advising.

This will wrap it up for this month. If anyone has news or updates, please send me an email to higgy122@gmail.com

Until next month, enjoy everyone!
