I have an an Electric trailer caster that was donated to the Coupeville Lions Club garage sale but did not sell. Specs are as follows:

Model PC-3 Power Caster New $1,325.00
Designed for heavy travel trailers/5th Wheel trailers

* 1,800 lb. tongue capacity
* 1/2 horsepower electric motor 800 in.-lbs. of torque @ 30 RPM (120 volts, 8.3 amps)
* Weight 94 lbs. (boxed shipping weight approx. 120 lbs.)

Comes with:
* Dual 4-ply nylon tires
* Heavy duty pregreased needle bearings w/ heat-treated hardened inner race
* Built-in brake switch/wiring to connect to your trailer's electric brake system

We are coming to the Gathering and will bring it if anyone is interested in seeing it. We would like to get $500 for it to support community, district and international Lions projects but will consider all offers.

We are in site C05.

It's important to state that this is NOT a tour folks can take on their own, with their own time schedule!! The garden club and the owners of these gardens are making a special time for us to come as a GROUP only...they do NOT want people popping in and out all weekend!!!! A donation of $5 would be very welcome to the club's special scholarship fund!


(sent to Barbara Buehler from the Weed'em Seed'em Garden Club
You get the whole tour with the exception of refreshments!! Sorry, no goodies! All homes on our garden tour have agreed to your group visiting their properties. This is what I have lined up for you...

Friday, July 15th, 1:00 - 4:00 PM

Barbara Eakley
Louise and Dick Handley
Good Earth Community Garden
Bonnie Peaco
Carleen and Scotty
Patti and James Curran

Saturday, July 16th, 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Joe and Karen Sinko
Connie and Jake Young
Darwin and Marilyn Noorda
Sherri Merritt

I realize that Friday looks real tight re: time. However, the first 5 are in town and are within blocks of each other. You can probably get to all of them between 1:00 - 2:30ish. Patti Curran's house is about 2 miles south of town and you'd have plenty of time to see it (rough time 2:40ish - 3:15 ish. I think you can be done easily before 4:00.

Saturday you will start north of town at the Sinko residence. This is a fabulous property on Trout Pond. Connie and Jake's home is also in that vicinity (mature garden and plants for sell). In town is Darwin and Marilyn Noorda's garden. They said they may not be home, but you are welcome to view the property. Sherri Merritt's Lavender Farm is 9 miles south of town. 101 Plants 'n Things is a wonderful nursery on Hwy 101. You will pass it on Friday on the way to Patti Curran's home and again on Saturday as you head down to the Lavender Farm. The day of our tour, they are offering a 10% discount to ticket holders. Pat and Jeff Kerker are the owners and have agreed to extend the offer to your group. Their phone number is 541.347.9398. They will need to know the name of your group and they will have to identify themselves. Perhaps a business card or a ticket you produce would work for identification. Please let me know what the identification will be so I can follow up with Pat and Jeff.

I have attached the booklet we provided with the tickets. It will give you the directions to the homes. I have also included the maps. It is important that you take note that you will not be seeing the properties in the order they appear in the booklet.

I did a quick search but didn't stumble upon it. What key words should I search for?

[Donna D.]

I searched for Oregon Gathering and it popped up. I don't know if this link will help tho:

[Steve L.]

Hmm. Still doesn't work for me, unless I'm not scrolling down far enough. Doesn't matter, your url points me right there.

[Dave Fish]

When I entered "Oregon Gathering" on the search, I got another site. There was a button for showing more results. When I selected that, I found our group as the second or third entry on the list. Bottom line - use Donna's link.

Hi Donna,


Thanks. Trying to get to 10 replies asap so the forum will let me direct message. minor emergency. even this reply is helping, so thanks again.

I have messaged two moderators for help, but have not received a reply. That's understandable as it all happened today. a different senior member suggested that I reply to some threads to get to "trusted" status, so that's what I'm doing, even now.

Thank you
