BELLEVUE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL 3-DAY HERITAGE DAYS JULY 4TH
CELEBRATION. I WAS THERE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY CARS
IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TOWN. THEY WERE ALL OVER THE CITY.
AND JANET KEIL OF RURAL BELLEVUE IS VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE WEEKEND AS SHE WON THE NEW CAR IN THE CHAMBER RAFFLE. SHE PURCHASED
RAFFLE TICKETS FOR THE FIRST TIME .. BUYING 5 FOR $100. SHE HAS
NOT DECIDED IF SHE WILL TAKE THE CAR OR $15,000 IN CASH. AS
SHE IS A SENIOR CITIZEN, SHE WANTS TO CHECK HOW IT IS TO GET IN AND
OUT OF THE CAR. THE $500 EARLIER DRAWING OVER THE WEEKEND
WAS WON BY A MAN FROM MANCHESTER.
