Lots of items were discussed at the Board meeting last Wednesday

night. Speed bumps will be placed at each end of Main Street to

slow down traffic and avoid a lot of "close calls" that have been

reported. The emergency generator installation at the new shop is

on hold until an LP gas tank can be transported to Unadilla. Lots

of street repairs were discussed as well as how to pay for them. The

current list of Fire & Rescue members were certified and a copy

was given to Barry Brandt. The upcoming Village budget documents

were discussed with Melinda Clarke, CPA. The outdoor kitchen phase

of the park shelter project is on hold until the final cement pour.

Bob Wilhelm would like to thank everyone, workers AND players,

who patronized the Bingo stand at the Otoe County Fair and

reminds you that all proceeds go to Youth Programs.

Contest Fiddling Workshop

A workshop for fiddlers who want to compete in fiddle contests

on Saturday, Sept 11, from 1-3 pm, in the old Avoca Schoolhouse.

A wonderful opportunity for fiddlers of all ages to learn to

choose appropriate tunes, work with their back-up players, and

to communicate with an audience. Participants should prepare

a tune or two to play for their fellow fiddlers. Memorization is

optional. Pre-registration is required. Fee: $20 per fiddler.
