BIG TURN OUT LAST NIGHT AT LITTLE BEAR PARK FOR "NATIONAL NIGHT OUT" SPONSORED BY THE THE MAQUOKETA PD. MAQUOKETA SAYS "THANKS"!

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PURCHASED JAKE'S OLD PICK-UP FOR $3,500.
AND HE LIKES THE NEW ONE HE BOUGHT. GOT A RIDE IN IT TO McDONALD'S FOR COFFEE THIS AFTERNOON. JAKE SAYS "THANKS" TO ALL YOU TAXPAYERS OUT THERE. JUDY WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT OLD "CLUNKER" GO.
OH...NEW LOOK COMING TO McDONALD'S...OUTSIDE NORTH. WORKERS THERE TODAY TAKING OUT THE PLAYGROUND, FENCE AND BRICK COLUMNS.

WE ARE GETTING READY FOR A HEAT WAVE THIS WEEKEND. BUT NOTHING LIKE WHERE SHIRLEY AND RON LIVE.

HAVE A NICE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.
