50th Anniversaries. We've had a couple of 50+ wedding anniversaries celebrated this month - any other 50+ anniversaries coming up?
Buhl Day. Peggy (Loesel) Hines reports that Buhl Day on Monday, September 6th, was a great day weather-wise and everything else. It started with the parade - her church passed out 6,000 bottles of water and had a float. The newly renovated casino was open for tours and while the outside looks the same, the inside was mostly offices but remodeled very nice. The art show was still upstairs. The entertainment was great and lots of cars came for the car show. She and Bob Gilliland saw Gary Heath who was with us through 7th grade and then attended Farrell schools. Sandy (Stasey) Fields toured the casino, pronounced it beautiful, and sent a photo to prove it, which is attached.
Overheard at Deneen's....
