FRIDAY DAILY

LAST NIGHT WAS "APPRECIATION NIGHT" FOR THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK, WITH OFFICES IN MAQUOKETA, PRESTON AND ANDREW AND THE
DRIVE-UP  BANK ON MAQUOKETA'S WEST SIDE.    HUNDREDS OF ADULTS

AND KIDS STARTED COMING AT 6  AND SOME DID NOT GO HOME UNTIL AFTER 11, AFTER THE MOVIE.     THE WEATHER WAS VERY NICE.

 NOTE THE BUMPER STICKED!

THE FACE PAINTING TENT WAS BUSY.    SO WAS

THE 61 DRIVE-IN TRAIN WITH ENGINER CASEY

CASEL AND SEVERAL BANK EMPLOYEES AS 

CONDUCTORS.

THE SWINGS WERE BUSY AND THE SANDBOX TO RIGHT, ALSO.

THESE M-S-B CUSTOMERS RELAXED AFTER ENJOYING A FREE SANDWICH

OR TWO, COURTESY OF THE BANK.    THE JACKSON COUNTY CATTLEMEN

DID HAMBURGERS ON THEIR BIG GRILL AND THE JACKSON COUNTY PORKP

PRODUCERS PREPARED THE PORK RIBLET SANDWICHES.    THE SANDWICHES WERE SERVED UNDER A BIG WHITE TENT AND THERE

WAS A DRINK TO GO WITH THEM.

AND THERE WAS A LINE-UP ALWAYS AT THE CONCESSION STAND, WAITING

TO GET IN FOR FREE POPCORN, COURTESY OF MAQUOKETA STATE

BANKS.

IT WAS A FUN NIGHT.   ONE PROBLEM, WAS THE PROJECTOR.   IT DID

NOT WANT TO SHOW THE MOVIE.    IT WAS MISSING THE RIGHT KEY.

THE PROJECTOR KEY, LIKE A PASSWORD ON A COMPUTER, ALLOWS THE

MOVIE TO BE SHOW,   MANAGER JACK JONES  HAD TO CALL AN EMERGENY NUMBER TO GET IT AND CONSEQUENTLY THE MOVIE STARTED NEARLY AN HOUR LATE.

THOSE WHO COULD NOT WAIT, WERE GIVEN A PASS FOR A DIFFERENT

MOVIE SOMETIME THIS SUMMER. 

A BIG THANK YOU TO CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER KEVIN BURNS AND MANY OF HIS EMPLOYEES FOR SPONSORING THE EVENT.
