Wednesday included an excellent vocational visit to the central distribution centre for “Lowes” – a home improvement store very similar to Australia’s ‘Bunnings Warehouse’. The team took a tour through the factory to learn about the systems used to sort and distribute the various products to 100’s of stores in the eastern Texas area. Much to our amusement we also learnt about the ‘Big Ass Fan Company’ fans which are used to keep air circulating during the hot and humid Mt Vernon Summers.
Lunch time we met with the lovely people at the Rotary Club of Pittsburg where we made our first presentation. Thank you to President Chris for his hospitality and to all the club members for the warm welcome and for showing such great interest in our lives in Australia!
The afternoon was spent visiting the local museums and some of the fabulously restored homes (thank you Libby and Ron Milton) about town. (Gracie coulen't resist a photo with one of our favourite friends Mr Tom Ramsay and his photo with President George W. Bush). Mt Vernon was established in the 1850s when Europeans made the pilgrimage from Oklahoma into Indian country.

B.F. Hicks hosted a chili night with the Mount Vernon locals at the Church Inn, where as always we were made extremely welcome and spoilt rotten with food and good conversation.
