| The eagle sculpture from a tree in the front yard of Ron Vandersluice at 123 N Welch Ave. was carved by Duane Nelson of Jackson, MN. It is a detailed and impressive work. It has since been complimented by a rock garden and flag pole . In these pictures you can see the sawdust and the raw wood. Ron applied a clear protective coat to the finished sculpture. |

| July 4th a new flag for the sports/park/fairgrounds flagpole was dedicated. Here it is seen from the baseball bleachers looking east through the backstop. The flag had flown over the capitol in Washington, D.C. | On a lighter note, we see a birdhouse just to the east of the Nicholson & Edwards Elevator off B40. The hole for the bird is on the north (right) side |

| This lighthouse was sculpted by Jeff Klatt (dba Runaway Saws, Storm Lake, IA tel:712.732.9688). It is on the south side of B40, a half block west of Highway 59 (345 3rd St SE). At about 8 foot, Jeff used the tree stump well. The inset shows the housing for the light. The work was commissioned by Dennis and Sharon Steinbeck. |
