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.

Honor Band Program 450

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.

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.
