Community Days activities along with the Bridge City Cruisers’ “Rally in the Valley” car show was held over the weekend.  Following a cool beginning Saturday, it remained dry with clouds giving way to comfortable temperatures and sunshine mid-afternoon. Thank you to the Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce, Bridge City Cruisers and all who contributed to a grand event.

The parade was a dandy with many people braving the cooler temperatures to watch the parade and see the kids racing for candy.  Thank you to all who sponsored parade units.

There were about 184 cars, tractors, motorcycles, etc. on display in the Saturday show.  Likely one or more of them would have been pleasing for everyone.  A special event.

This Year’s Junior Duck Stamp Art Exhibit is on display now until July 2nd at our Barnes County Museum.  Take this opportunity to view the young people’s great artistic talents.

The golfing season is underway and I hope you all can play as well and as often as you want.  For golf to be fun for all, please respect “Golf Etiquette”.  Golf etiquette includes, but is not restricted to, picking up tees on the tee box, fixing ball marks so you’d be comfortable putting over them, replacing divots, obeying roped off areas for carts and being respectful of all other golfers.  For more information, enter a search for “Golf Etiquette”.  Enjoy “The Grand Old Game”.

Last week I mentioned that stopping at STOP signs is for your safety.  In addition, the fine is about $80.

The Arbor Day Foundation encourages us all to plant, nurture and celebrate trees in communities and forests everywhere.  To be successful, we must plant the kinds of trees that have a chance to survive in our area.  In City Hall we have a list of trees conducive to good growing in our zone and soil types.  Be informed, your “favorite tree” may not be best for your place.

Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.
