Saturday, July 12th, at the Duncan Building, 55 people attended the program given by Dr. Mike Lucas. Mike is the Curator of Historical Archaeology at the New York State Museum in Albany. He is the son of Marvin & Jean Lucas. Attendees learned about the reconstruction of a Revolutionary War-era gunboat that was found under the Manhattan Island. It was so informative. Thank you Mike! And thanks to the Otoe County FCE "Sundowners" Club for sponsoring the presentation and providing refreshments!

From our Renowned Cub Reporter: Thursday morning, July 10th, a milestone birthday was celebrated at the Paisley Bottom Coffee Shop and Critical Thinking Laboratory. A dozen or more came from miles around and as far as Cass County, to wish John Stilwell a happy 90th birthday. Hurts Donuts and deliscious coffee was served. Many stories were shared about the antics and experiences all have had with John, who once was described as "Sexy Johnny",,,emphasis, please, on once! It was a festive occasion with a Mickey Mouse theme. Thanks Dean for hosting. John, may you celebrate many more!
Please note the Otoe County Fair will be August 1 - 3. Are your exhibits ready??? It sure has changed since we were kids!
You never know what you're going to see on Main Street Unadilla!
Just a reminder: please do not let grass from mowing your lawns get thrown into the streets; it clogs up our storm drains and is dangerous to both motorcycle and bicycle riders. Thanks in advance!
