MAQUOKETA HAS A HOME DELIVERED MEAL PROGRAM THAT THIS WINTER REPLACED THE MEALS ON WHEELS PROGRAM. THE OLD OPERATED 365 DAYS A YEAR AND THE FOOD WAS PREPARED BY THE HOSPITAL. THE NEW PROGRAM RUNS ONLY MONDAY THRU FRIDAY AND NO HOLIDAYS. ABOUT 45 USE IT. BUT, THEY ARE SHORT OF PEOPLE TO DELIVER THE MEALS. THE DELIVERY IS FROM 11 AM UNTIL NOON.
FOOD IS PREPARED AT THE JACKSON COUNTY SENIOR CENTER. ANYONE THAT CAN DELIVER (EVEN JUST ONCE A MONTH) SHOULD CALL AMY AT THE SENIOR CENTER AT 652-6771.
AN ADDITIONAL GRANDSTAND IS BEING BUILT AT THE WEST END OF THE MAIN GRANDSTAND AT THE FAIRGROUNDS, REPLACING THE BLEACHERS.
