FOR THE WEEKLY "BROWN BAG LUNCH" SPONSORED BY THE JACKSON COUNTY
HISTORICAL SOCIETY. A FULL HOUSE IN THE BASEMENT COMMUNITY
ROOM HEARD TOM MILLIGAN DO GRANT WOOD IN A 45 MINUTE TALK ON THE
LIFE OF GRANT, WHO MILLIGAN CALLED THE PRAIRIE REBEL. I THINK
EVERYONE ENJOYED THE TALK. CURATOR BONNIE MITCHELL GETS SOME
INTERESTING PROGRAMS EVERY WEEK FOR THE TUESDAY NOON EVENT, WHERE
YOU BRING YOUR BROWN BAG, AND DESSERT IS FREE. ANYONE CAN
COME TUESDAYS, SO TAKE ONE IN SOON. NO CHARGE.
THEY'RE TEARING UP THE TOWN! TAKING THE OLD BLEACHERS AWAY NEXT
TO THE GRANDSTAND AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. TO BE REPLACED BY NEW.
TAKING AWAY THE STAGE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL OLD GYM. MANY OF YOU PERFORMED OR WATCHED A GAME ON THAT STAGE.
AND THEY ARE TEARING UP GROUND AT GOODENOW FIELD, STARTING THE BIG
RE-BUILDING OF THE FOOTBALL AND SOCCER STADIUM.
AND ON MY WAY BACK TO T HE STATION, I SAW A CITY EMPLOYEE.... NOT TEARING
UP BUT FILLING IN....POT HOLES.
