The Farmer's Market is Thriving!
Locals bring their fruits and vegies to the Midwest Express parking lot to sell. This is great for those of us who don't have a garden. Owen Kuntz, with help from his family is there every week. He is sometimes joined by others.
Owen is ready to sell.
Owen's cantaloupes are the best!
Constance and Charity Baker were selling their vegies, too. The green beans were my favorite!
Zimmerman's Are Getting a New Garage!
Brody and Chad worked in the heat to get the walls up and the roof on.
Advanced Contracting, LLC, Justin Mommen's company, is putting up the garage.
Brody shows off the finished product.

Cass County Fair 4-H Auction Supporters (family, friends, businesses, alumni) are invited to show support for Cass County 4-Hers by attending one of two 4-H auctions held during the Cass County Fair.
· The 4-H cake auction starts at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening August 9, at the open air auditorium on the Cass County fairgrounds. It provides an opportunity to purchase fancy or decorated cakes, pies, and/or specialty breads baked and decorated by 4-H members. The proceeds of this event will be divided between the participating 4-Her and the Cass County 4-H Council. 4-H Council funds raised at this event help sponsor activities for 4-H members throughout the year. Auction supporters are invited to stay for the Fashion Show/Awards program following the auction. A Sneak Peek and Refreshments will be held for everyone at the 4-H Building following this event.
· The 4-H Livestock Auction starts at 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, August 14, in the livestock barn. Livestock judging awards will be presented to the 4-Hers before the auction at 2:45 p.m. The Cass County 4-H Council clerks this premium sale which is held for market animals only. Each exhibitor is allowed to sell one animal of each species as premium only, meaning dollars per head not cents per pound. Exhibitors retaining ownership will only receive the premium from the sale. Exhibitors of shipped animals will receive the premium from the buyer in addition to the sale proceeds from the buyer of the animal.
Doug Allen, Fusselman-Allen-Harvey Funeral Homes, was the lucky highest bidder to purchase Kingdom Kids 4-H Club’s baked goods entry displayed by club member, Noah Bolin, at the 2010 4-H Cake Auction
