PAST EVENTS
3 / 15 / '08 Streeters bring their shovels and saws to help Exceptional Equestrians Unlimited.
On this cold and windy Saturday many of our members came to spread 69 tons of sand and clear out overgrown vines and fallen trees from a horse stable in Hobart, IN. The stable is used by a Nonprofit organization called Exceptional Equestrians Unlimited. EEU provides educational and therapeutic horseback riding activities to the handicapped for an improved quality of life using professional instructors and trained volunteers in a safe and secure environment. Over a 100 people are enrolled, most of whom are children. Their program is due to start in early April, but the indoor arena was flooded and froze solid due to a leaking roof and lack of fill. Our members have helped EEU in the past and sprang into action. Led by Dick Cooper, who got the sand donated and also worked to get the roof repaired, members spread sand, cut down fallen trees, cleared brush to get the property ready for the spring program. Our thanks to Dave Austgen of Austgen Equipment Inc., Griffith,IN for donating the sand and delivery. Also to Jeff Cooper for bringing his Bobcat which made it much easier to move this much sand. Thanks to the women from EEU for the breakfast and lunch provided. We enjoyed helping out. EEU has a Website for anyone seeking information. www.eeucenter.org

7 / 27 & 28 / '07 "Just Take It Downtown" Car Show, Greensburg, IN
Streeters and friends formed a seventeen car convoy down to southern Indiana for this 4th annual show. An old town square setting with a large courthouse complete with a tree growing out of the roof is their claim to fame. Last year they counted 900 entries registered. This year was somewhat less, but still a big show. We all enjoyed the food and especially the pies at a certain restaurant on the square. We also got prime parking spots on the square. Some members were awarded trophies and two members won cash at the drawings which were held every fifteen minutes. We all pitched in to replace a carburetor on one members car.

Our first ever Ice Cream Cruise-In was a fun event with a good turnout. The weather was good, the ice cream was great, not to mention the hot dogs, popcorn, cookies, cakes, chips, and drinks. It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves. Our thanks to the Stash family for making this evening a success. Also to DJ Dave Alger providing the tunes. We hope to have more cruise-ins in the future.
