Well friends, here we are out in the bus for the first time, Saturday, June 9th 2012.  We are parked at the Ursa, Illinois City Park here in West Central Illinois, just a stones throw from the Mississippi River. It's Ursa Park Days, known to the locals as the annual Pork-O-Rama.

Last night it was all you can eat Catfish Fry, and tonight...what else: Pork Chop Feed. I'm down with that, I'll take a good Chop over a steak any day, and for sure this is the part of the country where you can get a good Pork Chop.

Our mission here with the Shottenkirk Traveling Showroom, is to make impressions, and let the world know who we are. If someone insists, we could set an appointment, but we're really out just to meet the good people here in the tri-state area.

Now this is a pretty small town, with a population of around 600...But what a great friendly spirit there is here. Everybody is so nice.

I'm gonna' post a few photos, and ad more words later.
