IRON HEART FORUM "HOMETOWN HEROES" PICTURE COMPETITION - SPRING 2022
-
Last but not least, farms, barns, and tractors - there are a bunch of farms on the outskirts of town. While all the active and running farms are mostly private, there are a few that open up as markets Spring - Fall with a bunch of food and goodies. Since it’s not in season just yet, here is the IUP Farm that’s open to the public. Agriculture is a big part of Indiana’s backbone, especially the cultivation of Christmas Trees and corn. This little town is rural but had a good core to it. Oh Indiana…Wearing 76, Pronto Slub Collabs, & hiking boots.
I had a lot of fun seeing everyone’s posts here. This was great Reuben! Thanks to everyone who participated as well. Great seeing your neck of the woods!

I had too many days of poly cotton blends to participate but you guys and gals are killing it. This has been a great thread to catch up on [emoji119][emoji119][emoji119]
Edited to add that it is so good to see a lot of people’s families. No surprise that our significant others, kids, and pets are all a good looking group!

No that this amazing contest(It really was) is over,any chance for the back story on how it came to be?
Nothing too complex… it was a while since we’d had a competition with prizes. I had some ideas knocking around and asked Jeff to help refine them with me. We wanted something a bit more personal that everyone could get into and something that would showcase forum members and not just the clothes.
As is often the case the good folks around here took a simple idea and ran with it, making it something bigger and better the was originally conceived.

Thanks to everyone who took part. This was mostly about getting to know each other a little better, and that has been achieved by all you good folks in quite some style. This is a wonderful thread for the ages.
