Big doin's at this years 'Dutch'

Let's change up the conversation here with a trip back in time to the 1972 Dutch Classic. Here's the flyer for the race - makes for an interesting comparison to this years edition posted by Jack. Note the date - June - and held on a Friday and Saturday with Sunday in reserve as a rain date.

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.
