In the spirit of such, I IRISH COFFEE PUB want to take a moment to let you know how grateful we are to have your support.

We now have 32% of the Great Riv- er families as members. I just love this time of year as these holidays hold so much LLOBELL REALTY tradition! Our town is full of tradition. In preparing for this historic issue I looked at the number of families in Great River who have been here 35+ years. We have so NANCY STEIN @ DOUGLAS ELLIMAN REAL ESTATE many families who knew our town "back in the day". This issue allowed us to share the original "bones" of Great River. We hope future issues will share some of their OAKDALE YACHT memories with you. GEORGE MARTIN’S STRIP STEAK We have fun events planned for the season. Our fund raising yard sale for new town flags is October 4th. Your donations are so appreciated. We have an unexpected SUPERSCAPES BY J.

The parade route starts at the Great River Fire Department, travels down New Street to Provost to widgeon.
