Apple Festival was a great time
I hope you had a chance to visit Almelund’s Apple Festival last Sunday. We went and the crowds seemed bigger than ever. We had some absolutely incredible desserts that were made by Apple Festival volunteers. We did grab a bag of apples (and yikes they are not cheap anymore) that we are still enjoying today. Thanks to all who helped put on this wonderfully quaint event. Take it from an outsider, we all love the apple festival.

Apple Fest time this weekend
What a great weekend we had for Shafer Days. Except for a little rain on Friday evening, the weather couldn’t have been any better. Downtown Shafer was buzzing with people all day Saturday with a massive car show lining mainstreet. I don’t know how many of you took the time to visit Shafer City Hall on Saturday, but they had one of the best historical displays I have ever seen. They had the entire council chamber displaying hundreds of historical items from photos to letters, even plat books. The room also featured a video produced by Jack Doepke that was all about Shafer and its history.

This summer has absolutely flown by and now the weather geniuses are forecasting high temps in the 50’s. Please, please bring back the sunny 80 degree temperatures - I am not done yet.
