Memorial weekend at Tri-State

What a great weekend again this year!  Pound for pound, the best entertainment and camping value in America!!!  And it happens twice a year!!!  The May festival was our 14th in a row!  We can't thank Jim and Linda, the board and staff, and all of the volunteers enough! 
In the for what it's worth category, on our way to this year's festival, late Thursday afternoon, we had brake problems.  Luckily we took our camper down the previous Saturday!  Not knowing any auto repair businesses in Kendallville I decided to ask Terry Thacker.  He said to go to Deitrich's Auto and Truck Service, west of town on US 6, and ask for Larry Deitrich and that if anyone could help us he could.  So I was there at 8:00 a.m. when they opened and talked to Larry.  
He said I'd need to leave the Land Rover and that he would drive me back to the festival and call me when it was done.  So at 3:00 p.m. he called and said it was ready and he'd be by to pick me up.  I told him I was working on the gate until 4:00 and could he please come then, which he did.  Terry was right!  He's a great guy and the second generation owner of the family business, with his sister.  The cost of the repair was very reasonable, especially since we were at his mercy!  
If anyone ever needs any type mechanical service Deitrich's are the ones to call!  Their telephone number is 260-347-5067  They're also on the web at  http://www.dietrichsautoservice.com/index.html       
Thanks again to Jim and Linda and everyone involved for a GREAT festival!!!  We'll see you this fall, the good Lord willing!
