Indiana Tradeoree weekend

I headed to Ohio a day early to go the Indiana TOR.  It was fun being in Daniel Carter Beard country where Scouters and Beard heritage was so strong.  I got to talk to great traders from the area and picked up some nice memorabilia.

Here's the building where the TOR was held.   Fall colors and beautiful day in Aurora Indiana!

Had supper and lunch hosted by Eddie

Here's a book I've got to get.
