We have been notified by Rural Water District #3 that
"Due to ongoing drought conditions, please be responsible with
the use of your water." They also reported that one sample tested
positive, and if there are any further problems, they will be
chlorinating as required by State regulations.

If you haven't been to the Midwest Genealogical Center in
Independence, Missouri, it's sure worth the trip. And you can make
it there and back in one day. You will be amazed at how much
information is housed in this new building. It is handicapped
accessible and the people that work there are so nice and
helpful. My sister Mary and I spent the day there, perusing
record books. We will have to make a return trip to view the
digital records. If you would like driving directions,
let me know!

Can you believe the Otoe County Fair will start in less than

Legion/VFW/SAL Bingo stand in the air-conditioned Fair
Center. Bob Wilhelm has been busy stocking the
"prize cupboard". All proceeds go to various Youth Programs.

Thanks to Bob Brandt for the
