Another County Fair is in the book. It seemed to be bigger and better than

last year. We especially enjoyed the tractor contest with two Unadilla

"boys" taking home trophies. Bob Bryan won "Most Original" with his 1950

Allis Chalmers CA, and Bob Wilhelm "Age Group 22-64" with his 1952

8N Ford, purchased new by his father Vernon, and totally restored

by Chuck Bjork.

There seemed to be an explosion of agriculture related displays - after

all, isn't that what the fair is supposed to be? We did hear a few

complaints about the livestock sale being changed to Wednesday

night and the kids starting school the next morning. Bob Wilhelm

reports a good year for the Bingo stand, getting rid of all the prizes.

See you next year!

It's official! Michele Hillman and Matt Capps were married August

18th at the Harlan County Reservoir.

"Reverend" Bob Wilhelm, Michele's father, performed the

ceremony aboard a boat in the middle of the lake.

Also present were: Maisie and Madison Hillman, Barb Wilhelm,

and Leonard & Andrea Capps. The day started out with thunder and

rain, but ended up being a beautiful day. They managed to get in a

short visit with cousin Jeff after the "rehearsal" dinner at Simi's in

Alma, Nebraska Friday evening.

Doesn't these crisp mornings make you think of fall? If you're

beginning your fall cleaning and don't want to bother with a garage sale,

please remember the Thrift Shop in Syracuse takes donations

Monday, Friday, and Saturday mornings from 9 - Noon. In the long

run, you'll be helping yourself and your family.
