BEAUTIFUL DAY YESTERDAY...81 THE HIGH.
BREEZY, MOSTLY CLOUDY AND COOLER TODAY.

MAQUOKETA LOST THEIR FOOTBALL GAME FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE LAST 5 SECONDS OF THE GAME.

JACKSON COUNTY HAS A NEW WINERY....BRUSH CREEK WINERY....LOCATED
NORTH OF ANDREW, A SHORT DISTANCE OFF OF HIGHWAY 62. IT IS OWNED BY KEITH AND SHERRY WEUSTE OF ANDREW. KEITH IS THE ASSISTANT LOCKMASTER AT THE DUBUQUE LOCK AND DAM AND SHERRY WORKS FOR A REAL ESTATE OFFICE IN DUBUQUE. THEY HAVE BEEN GROWING GRAPES FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS AND THIS SUMMER STARTED THE WINERY, INSTEAD OF SELLING TO OTHER WINERIES. THEY BROUGHT THEIR WINE SELECTION TO THE ANNUAL MAQUOKETA AND BELLEVUE ROTARY CLUB DINNER LAST NIGHT AT THE YMCA. LOTS OF TASTING AND LOTS OF GOOD COMMENTS BY ROTARIANS. I MUST HAVE TASTED
6 OR 7 KINDS AND BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF TWO FAVORITES. SOME I TASTED:
IRON BRIDGE RED, RAZZY RED, CHERRY-CHERRY, BY THE DAM GOOD WINE, SUMMER DAZE, BLUFF MILLS RED, HOOK-LINE & SINKER, AND BLUE HERON. IF YOU LIKE WINE (WINE IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH) YOU WILL WANT TO VISIT THE NEW WINERY SOON. JACKSON COUNTY'S OTHER WINERY IS THE TABOR WINERY NORTH OF BALDWIN, NOW A GOOD 10 YEARS OLD AND GROWING.

MAQUOKETA SCHOOL BOARD MEETING TONIGHT.

DARREN AND ASHLEY STEFFEN OF MAQUOKETA ARE PARENTS OF A BOY, BORN WEDNESDAY AT MERCY HOSPITAL IN DUBUQUE.

SEE THE NEW PHOTO BELOW.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
