If there are any Maple Grove historians in the house - when did the Dutch transition from this Spring date to the Fall date like today?

Mike - I'm not a Maple Grove historian but after speaking to several MG people most including myself think it was in the mid-nineties .........

My parents and I went to our first Dutch in 1993. So it's been mid-October at least that long.

I won the Dutch in 1986 in Comp on October 12 so before that.
