A good lesson from butterflies … rest during the storms

Did you know butterflies seek shelter when it rains because it damages their wings? It’s OK to rest during the storms of life. You will always fly again once it’s over.
Thank you, Craig Jones, family and staff, that have so faithfully watered the flower points in front of and behind the Chamber. They have never looked better.
We are still collecting open tabs from drink cans, canned meat, vegetables, etc., to be donated to nonprofits like Ronald McDonald House, Shriner’s Hospital and more. They redeem the taps for money. We’ve already had two people bring us some. This is an easy way to make a difference.
 It is fair week. A great community event that has something for everyone. To quote the Price is Right...COME ON DOWN!
