IPM 2007 By The Numbers
September 26, 2007
A 4H exhibitor stopped to chat with Mom the other day. She told us a friend of hers took her husband and three young kids to the Match on Friday. Curious, she put on a pedometer before she boarded the wagon from the parking lot, then checked it upon their return to the car. How far? Just over eight miles.
Martin Streit reported 1786 visitors to the woodlot over the five days.
I’ll report one 250-gallon load of water dumped on the access road to help keep the dust down.
