SCP Reunion Upgrades Club Kitchen

The Southern Cove Power Reunion Club met on March 7 in the clubhouse with 29 attending. The group was very enthusiastic about planning the 2024 season.

Joe Teeter discussed insurance for the club and answered questions. Teeter said that event insurance is hard to get because of the many different events, but also because there are many protocols that must be in place.

Teeter said the club has had an “outstanding record” in safety and this is one reason the club can continue to get insurance. Insurance costs increased about 20 percent over last year.

Tractor pulls require a lot of maintenance and the club recognized that members need to make repairs on the grater, which includes a throttle, clutch, and more. A $1,500 budget was passed by the board.

This year the kitchen is getting major upgrades which will also cost a substantial amount of money. A new hood, grill, fryers, fireproof drywall, sinks, heat elements, and plumbing are some of the items to be upgraded. The kitchen work is going to be done in hopes it is ready for the first tractor pull on opening day, April 20.

Weigh-in will be held at 3 p.m. and pull time is 4 p.m. This will be Spring Plow Day with plowing demonstrations, a tractor parade, a flea market and a craft show.

Camping on the grounds is permitted and the kitchen will be open. James Reffner is the contact for all flea market questions at (814) 423-1929.

On April 27, Mark Wisecarver rented the grounds for his spring consignment sale which will start early. Those with questions contact Wisecarver at (814) 832-3900.
