100 Years of Yesterday
by Chairperson Terry Diack
I imagine that 100 years ago, women like my mother, and her mother and her mother before her, were outside sprucing up their yards and planting their gardens on days much like the last few we’ve had. Today, people are still doing that. Getting their hands dirty, planting and weeding...pruning and trimming. Of course, there are a few differences, a hundred years ago those same women probably just burnt all their garden rubbish or had to haul it away themselves. Today (as in now) the Town of Three Hills is having the 1st Annual Clean-up on May 26. What this means to You, is--the town will collect any rubbish you have in your back-alley on that day for FREE (of course there are a few exclusions like old fridges and stuff) but basically, you can clean up your yard and they will haul it away for you. WOW! I am so liking this idea. So let’s all get out there and spruce up our town. After all, we have a party to throw. You can find all the details elsewhere in The Capital.
I can’t believe that it is only two months until our Centennial Celebration, but before that big event, there is the 31st Annual Cruise “Weekend” (June 1,2 & 3) With all the things that are planned--show & shine--drag races--motorcycle jumps--it is going to be one fantastic weekend.
The Centennial Committee is down to the nit-picky details now--making sure that we have enough port-a-potties places in strategic locations, ordering the helium for the balloons for the kiddies, and other such mundane things that will ensure our party goes off without a hitch. If you have a couple of spare hours consider becoming a volunteer and helping us. You can pick up a volunteer form at Alsite Travel or the General Store.
My random thought for this week is “How many grew up knowing where “Grantville” is?
