Today

************

Major preparations are under way! A large portion of Firemen's Field has been marked off - presumably for amusement rides.


The "necessaries."


Stakes driven into the lawn to the East of the Library circle showed where the tent would be for the WCS Foundation Dinner.


Historical Society President Joe Falk and Kent Cole were putting the finishing touches on the Golf Course, out back, and the greenery in front of the building.


There's a new sign over the doorway of the Belfield Insurance Building.

Members of the Women's Club are baking pies, the Garden Club is corralling chrysanthemums and, with less-than-perfect timing .....

the sidewalk on the North side of Putnam Street has been torn up for repaving!

The forecast is only a little bit "iffy" -

spirits will not be dampened!

I intend to start my day with Breakfast at Firemen's Field: pancakes. And the Mayor's cooking!
