Beautiful Memorial Day services

Thank you so much to the local Veterans for doing such a great job with all the Memorial Day events at our local cemeteries. I attended some and the crowd numbers were good. It helps when Mother Nature cooperates. It was a beautiful weekend and the services were fantastic.

Egg hunt, better late than never

Shafer Parks Committee held their first annual Easter Egg Hunt Saturday. I was a bit skeptical about the turnout because of the fact that Easter had already passed. In fact, I was there fifteen minutes early and was still thinking the same thing. But the residents of Shafer poured into Shafer Meadows Park and soon it was filled with kids filling their bags with Easter eggs. The city put out so many eggs (3,000 in all) that most kids left with multiple bags of easter eggs filled with goodies. Thanks to the Parks Committee for making a dreary Saturday morning fun for so many kids of all ages.
