air conditioned Fair Center during the county fair next week. The proceeds help

fund local youth programs. And it's always lots of fun! The booth is manned by

members of the American Legion, VFW and Sons of the American Legion.

Congratulations to Bob Wilhelm on his third and FINAL retirement.

I'm letting him adjust for a few weeks and then I'm showing him the

"Honey Do" list I've been keeping since 1983!

 

 

 

 

We had a great day trip with the grandsons and daughter Jenn to Fort

Atkinson at Ft. Calhoun Monday. It was the first fort to be built in the land

known then as the Louisiana Purchase in 1819. So much history there and in

the Visitor's Center. Day permit $6, $2 for adults, $1 kids under 13.

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

 

Friday, 7-18-1919, The Otoe Union:

"The hum of the old threshing machine is making music in our county again."

Maux Schreiner, son of Nick, married Christina Gartner, daughter of Henry,

and they would live 4 miles west of Unadilla. After July 19, 1919, "it is unlawful

to smoke cigarettes in public eating places but it will be lawful to sell them."

Pipes and cigars were excluded.
