We Recycle For the Love of Travel and Great Friends JUBILEE , what a special summertime event for the water well drilling industry, and what great times we had laughing and smiling (working on Ed’s smile - LOL). Most of all, it’s seeing our friends in the industry and just spending time with them - watching their children, now adults, with children of their own, enjoying the BIG IRON , and all that goes with it. Never forget the good times! Ribbon cuttings and thank-yous to the sponsors, as well as the Board of Directors who aid in bringing the event to us each year, is so unique. These photos represent “the reason for being” - LIFE is for living - smile till your mouth breaks! Enjoy the ride! Don’t fall off the boat, or bike, or step. Just keep going.
