Hometown Happenings


Blog from the 'burg...In case you missed it -- the highlights of hometown happenings this summer besides the always Big 4th of July parade and community picnic in the park, there was the 150th celebration of the County Fair held at Fireman's Park. If you were Class of 1984 -- then some of you didn't miss it with your 25th reunion held at the fair... and you may have caught the Otto kereoke show under the not so "big top" tent back by the farm equipment. Good place for all that "squeelin'"! 8]

If you make it back to the 'burg before summer ends -- there are 2 more Friday nights of "Summer Sounds" concerts in City Park this Friday and the next. While we don't have Santa Monica Pier's famous ferris wheel as a backdrop and it's not nearly the magnitude of Millenium Park's lakefront concerts in Chicago -- the concerts provide for a night out with what makes the 'burg such a great place to be (most the time) with family and friends-- like one big "Cheers"--only outside on the lawn an no "Norm" (unless you count Pat M. -jk Pat).

The start of another school year is almost here and the high school has a new principal :D & all the same old Bulldog spirit! Go Dawgs! In case your feeling nostalgic--or don't get the News Gossip --the more things change in the 'burg -- the more they stay the same :)
