Hello, Readers, August 17, 2017

Railroad Days in Staples will have a weekend full of fun, family activities. Whether your interest is collector cars, music, food, chili cookoff, pig racing, parade or 5K Dash, you’ll find it here Saturday. Don’t forget the variety show Thursday and the CLC Ag Center Field Day Friday.  Some events have been detailed in stories in the Aug. 10 and Aug. 17 issues of the paper. See the ad on page 3a with the full list of activities. See other ads about more special events and go treasure hunting at the city-wide garage sales. We welcome school alumni back for class reunions and we welcome bicyclists with Bicycling Around Minnesota who will be in Staples Saturday afternoon and overnight.

Thank you to all the many volunteers who make this event possible. Get out there and enjoy yourself!
