Takes to the River recap

Takes to the River – Kayaking, Food & Fun--Saturday, August 2

Over 30 EISC members and guests enjoyed the day at Kathy Takes’ farm outside Cascade, IA. The North Fork Maquoketa River was running faster than usual, so the kayakers had a much easier float this year.  After kayaking, everyone enjoyed conversation and relaxing under the shade trees. As an appetizer, Dale Bohrer and other helpers make fried onion rings, a favorite of Jim Takes.  

 

Kathy Takes grilled Angus beef burgers and brats. It was a beautiful day to enjoy anything outside.    Thank you, Kathy, for hosting another fun event for EISC!
