YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. GREAT WEATHER, BUT LOW TURN-OUT FOR
THE "ROCK THE PARK" GOSPEL TWO BANDS. I COUNTED ABOUT 100 ADULTS
AND 50 KIDS. A FEW PROBLEMS....STARTED LATE AND ALMOST ONE HOUR
BETWEEN BANDS. THE FIRST BAND, THE MICHAEL REED BAND, WAS VERY GOOD, FROM WATERLOO-CEDAR FALLS, BUT I DIDN'T LIKE THE NASHVILLE BAND AS WELL. LIKED MY SNO-CONE THOUGH. NOTICE THE PIECE OF EARTH-MOVING EQUIPMENT IN UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER.
FAN TOO!
HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE NARROW GUAGE RAILROAD DEPOT ON EDGE OF PARKING LOT. BIG
TURN-OUT. THEY HAD TWO LINES, ONE IN THE BASEMENT OF THE MUSEUM
