Hello Folks,<\/p>\n
Thanks to all of you who invested some time in making your properties look nice for the weekend.\u00a0I saw people mowing lawns, trimming grass and weeds enhancing Valley City\u2019s beauty.\u00a0Great job everybody.<\/p>\n
Kudos go out to all who facilitated a wonderful Rally in the Valley in spite of it being hot and windy. There was a great crowd, vendors, many vehicles for the show, breakfast at the Barnes County Airport and a delightful parade.<\/p>\n
Late Saturday afternoon there was a \u201cwarm\u201d dedication ceremony at the Hi Line Prairie Gardens and Community Orchard complete with a great chocolate cake and lemonade.\u00a0Thank you to all the people who work so passionately beautifying the area.<\/p>\n
*The temperatures will be very hot for a while, so air conditioners will be running for our comfort. \u00a0That is fine, but please avoid running dishwashers, clothes washers or other optional appliances during traditional breakfast, lunch or dinner times.\u00a0We need to avoid demand charges and rolling blackouts.<\/p>\n
A little \u201ctrailer\u201d from our vacation while flying home, we had a nice bus ride from Devils Lake to Jamestown instead.\u00a0We met people from Reno, NV, Luverne and Lancaster, MN.\u00a0They were delightful, we all visited a \u201cbunch\u201d and I am grateful for the experience. Sometimes plans are \u201cchanged\u201d for the better.<\/p>\n
Contributors; thank you again for helping this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cStrive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n (Albert Einstein)<\/p>\n Dave Carlsrud<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello Folks, Thanks to all of you who invested some time in making your properties look nice for the weekend.\u00a0I saw people mowing lawns, trimming grass and weeds enhancing Valley City\u2019s beauty.\u00a0Great job everybody.
