Davis Open House

On Sat October 13, Don and Norma Davis opened their backyard to many ILSR members.  The weather was bright and sunny but cool (50’s). The cookies and hot apple cider punch was just the ticket to enjoy the afternoon.  Early in the day, the local town went to the dog, but all survived .
