AND THEY SAID THANKS . . . The two committees in charge of the two local Fourth of July programs for Walkerton and North Liberty, both have expressed their thanks to the many who participated and helped put on these two programs. They probably sincerely feel this way but realistically, it is the rest of us, the ones the programs are put on for who owe the thanks. After all the dust has cleared, one can sit back and see that both Walkerton and North Liberty again had very entertaining and successful Fourth of July festivities. This was heard from about anyone who attended, the compliments ranging from one phase of the celebration to another. Certainly there was something for all to see and take part in if they desired, and the two parades on Saturday evening in W'alkerton and Monday afternoon in North Liberty, were as much a reason for the success of the programs as the grand finale of fireworks that traditionally end the festivities. Most people will never know how many hours certain individuals put into this planning for months in advance to make this type of celebration possible. Yes, the committees do need and get help from the merchants and the public, certainly the monetary donations which help finance the programs are a necessity. However, that is a small price in comparison to what these individuals are giving in time and effort. One just cannot imagine the work it takes unless they are directly involved. Once again we would like to add our voice of appreciation to those unselfish people who spent the many hours of planning and working to give our two communities another year of great success in celebrating our Nation’s birthday . . . your parties were really great! //'IiEMEMBEjCC WHEN...
