Hope to see you this weekend!
This week we celebrate all things "Groundhog"! To see the schedule of events, please go to our website: Unadilla Bill - Groundhog Celebration. Wednesday evening (tonight) there will be a meet and greet at the Duncan Building for all new residents and the public is invited. The parade starts at 2 p.m., Saturday, with the crowning of the new King & Queen immediately after the parade. Shirts still available at Nitty Gritty. (Groundhog Day is officially celebrated on February 2nd.) We will have Unadilla Billie's "official prediction" next week!
Be sure to stop into the Library this Saturday, February 1st, from 9:00 to 11:00. The Library is hosting a reception to honor Peggy Leefers for her long time commitment and dedication. Stop in and say hi (and have a piece of cake ????).
Yoga class in the gym has been changed from Wednesday to Thursday this week.
The holidays are over, so of course we seeing the turkeys again!
Have to brag a little bit on our grandson Brody. He was chosen for the Iowa Western Honor Band. He plays the Euphonium. It is a medium sized 3 or 4 valve brass instrument (we didn't know what it was either!) About 60 kids attended from Nebraska and Iowa, spent the day together, and then gave a concert in the evening. It was SO worth the drive!
Get well wishes to Bev Anderson, Arlin Rohlfs, and any others recovering from surgery or the flu.

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO
Friday, 1-30-1925, The Otoe Union:
Esther Rickets, teacher at Dist. #53, Harmony School, organized a "rope club". She stated, "if club members master the Hay rope splice, their efforts in this particular project will have been well rewarded." The Farmer's Union held their annual meeting and Fred Wallen, Otto Stubbendeck, and Charles Dorman we re-elected officers. "A fine little baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. K.C. Stoner." (You will remember her as Rose Marie Brandt.) Ralph Lincolns' also had a baby girl.
