AND HAPPY TO REPORT THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ARE GOING UP IN
DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA....ON THE TREES....AND EVEN MORE HAPPY TO REPORT
THAT THE LIGHTS ARE MULTI-COLOR, MOSTLY GREEN AND RED.    GREAT!!    I KNOW MANY, MANY LIKE ALL-WHITE.... BUT WE'VE HAD ALL-WHITE FOR YEARS AND YEARS.    IT IS NICE TO SEE A CHANGE.     THANKS TO THE MAQUOKETA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR MAKING THE CHANGE AND THANKS TO MMEU (MAQUOKETA ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER) FOR AGAIN PUTTING THE LIGHTS UP AS A SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.    THE LIGHTS ARE PAID-FOR BY DONATIONS AND THE KMAQ
CHECK WILL BE IN THE MAIL.     THE LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS WILL BE POSTED IN
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FRONT WINDOW.     ANYONE CAN DONATE.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW......AFTER THE CORN IS ALL IN.

THANK YOU!!
