King of Obsolete

In the mid-1990's Joey Barnes of Alexander, Manitoba moved to Lynn Lake and established himself as the "King of Obsolete" in his Kingdom on the outskirts of town. Lynn Lake has two restaurants, no shopping malls, no fast food delivery and no banks. Most supplies are brought in 300 km from Thompson or by bus from southern communities.

The King of Obsolete, among other things, spends much of his winter running cat trains. Most of the equipment he uses for his winter freighting activities, and just about everything else he does, is from the 1950s and have been brought back to life by remodeling them and using whatever parts were available.

On November 27 at 7 PM, the King of Obsolete (aka Joey Barnes) will be at Pennywise Books to talk about his first book "King of Obsolete: Cat Train Newsletters" and relate some of his stories about making a living with old equipment and loving every minute of it.

If you enjoy storytellers, would like to learn about real life in the North, or are a hobbyist that likes to tinker with old machinery, be sure to come down and meet the King in person. To read more about the King's adventures, visit his website at www.kingofobsolete.ca.

I hope to see you here!
