SOME HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING AND SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A HIGH OF 64.   TOMORROW,  LOW 7O'S AND 78 ON WEDNESDAY.
LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE A COOL WEEKEND, IN THE LOW 50'S.
BECAUSE OF THAT FORECAST,  WE HAVE DECIDED THE 61 DRIVE-IN
THEATRE IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON.

THE MAQUOKETA COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT APPROVED A LOW BID FOR REPLACING THE ROOF FOR THE 1992 HIGH SCHOOL BAND AND VOCAL ADDITION.      THE LOW BID WAS FROM CONNELL SUPPLY HERE IN TOWN, AT $31,497.  THERE WAS ONE OTHER BID, NEARLY $3,000 MORE.

THE ODD FELLOWS EMPORIUM (SANDWICHES AND GIFTS) OPENED AT
