Hoosier Bicentennial: December 11, 1816 - December 11, 2016
ztnoo posted a topic in non tractor related discussion
Indiana Bicentennial December 11, 1816 - December 11, 2016 President James Madison approved Indiana's admission into the union as the nineteenth state on December 11, 1816. Indiana is the 38th largest by area and the 16th most populous of the 50 United States. Its capital and largest city is Indianapolis. Indiana is divided into 92 counties. As of 2010, the state includes 16 metropolitan and 25 micropolitan statistical areas, 117 incorporated cities, 450 towns, and several other smaller divisions and statistical areas. Hoosier History Highlights: http://www.in.gov/ibc/2614.htm Happy Birthday, INDIANA! The Home of Wheel Horse Tractors! The Indiana State Flag was designed by Paul Hadley of Mooresville, Indiana. In 1914, the Indiana Daughters of the American Revolution offered a prize of $100 to the person who could design a state banner. Paul Hadley's design was accepted and submitted to the General Assembly of 1917 for official adoption. The addition of the word INDIANA was the only change made by the General Assembly. The torch stands for liberty and enlightenment and the rays show their far-reaching influence. The thirteen original states are represented by the outer circle of thirteen stars. The inner five stars represent the next five states to enter the union. The larger star above the torch signifies the nineteenth state - Indiana. * http://www.in.gov/history/2687.htm- 3 replies

Gentlemen, I've been around here for about 2 1/2 months now and I'm amazed at the knowledge base, expertise, and camaraderie here at RS. Everything I've had questions about has always been promptly and expertly replied to, and in almost every case, has solved whatever question or specific problem I have had. I'm ecstatic I've found this place. I feel so fortunate. In my quest to keep a 47 year old Wheel Horse tractor running and working, I feel like I've found paradise here at RS As a part of becoming a member of this community, I have begun to note and take interest in meets relatively close to me that I could fairly easily scope out and see what goes on at these events. First on my list is the upcoming meet in Mentone, IN on April 30. Interestingly, even though I don't live in that area of Indiana, I do have some familiarity with it. My family owned a lake cottage beginning in 1936 which I sold in May of 2013, about 10 miles from Mentone, so I know exactly how to get there. It's about 1 hour and 10 minutes from my home. I have learned something of who the Hoosier members are here at RS, but I make no pretense of knowing everyone, or even where they are from. In advance of the Mentone event, I'd love to know who all you other Hoosier are, and where you are from, if you care to share that info. If you don't care to divulge all your info in this thread that's fine......you can PM me if you desire. I'd just like to think that since I plan at this point in going to Mentone to attend the event....... maybe in advance, I might have more familiarity with the personalities attending than what I currently do. I'd love to hear from all you Hoosiers here.......whether you are going to Mentone or not. And not to exclude anyone, any other RS members from other states who will be attending Mentone and other Hoosier events. Regards, Steve Gas City, IN
