Spring 2013 Meet


The 2013 Spring PLD Meet

The Prairie Lakes Division is holding its Spring 2013 meet at the Spirit Lake Expo Building on April 20th. The Meet is scheduled to run from 8 am to 4 pm with the PLD business meeting at 3 pm. There will be a full article of information in the upcoming Journal and posted on this website later in March. Be sure to bring articles, pictures, or just some information to the meet that can be published in the PLD Journal. It has been running on the light side due to the lack of information and articles from members. After the meet there will be local layout tours. See you in April!
