Bay 5 – Work Continues

Our intrepid work crew was back at it again. We erected the front posts and the rafters for Bay 5’s roof this morning. Charlie worked so hard he needed to rest against the post for a few minutes when we were done.

Thanks to Count Sandor, Cowboy Rick, Wicker Nash, Logsplitter Chris, Badlands Charlie, Popcorn Kelly, and Chancy Shot for helping.

The crew will be back at it next week, weather permitting, to finish the roof. 34 days and counting to the State Championships. No worries, it’ll be done by then!

Speaking of working, we were given one secret picture that I have to hide from public view, for reasons you will understand. To get a real understanding of the workday, click here.

Just kidding – everyone worked hard, and it could be the hardest working crew finally took a much-needed break. Not saying that’s what happened, but it could be the case. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

We’ll keep you posted on how the next phase goes.

And, as always, it’s not too late to sign up for the 2026 Illinois State Cowboy and Wild Bunch Championships. Click here for more information.
