Around Town
Thursday, July 4th, the city will have
regular garbage pickup even though it is a holiday. Our condolences go out to the Russ and Joann Harris family for the
death of their son-in-law in a freak accident in Minnesota.
Services will be held this week.
For the 4th of July celebration, the flags
will be placed on the Avenue of Flags at the Russell Cemetery on July 2 and removed
on July 5th. They are a sight to behold.
