Our chapter enjoyed all the events in Burwell. On Thursday we took a driving tour of the canyon road and ended up with fifty cent hot dogs and ice cream. On Friday we enjoyed home made pies and coffee at the senior center. Also took in some of the shops, especially the western wear shop. Saturday morning we enjoyed the parade downtown; had hot dogs for lunch and then went to the rodeo in the evening. We experienced an enjoyable week-end but very worn out.
