I would like very much like that!
Did I mention I am 2 miles from Meskwaki, a world class casino, hotel
and
convention center? Or that there are now 3 ziplines up and running
here at
Gilly Hollow?
Friendly Regards,
Mike

SPECIAL - Toledo, Iowa - July 2, 2010
The stage is set. The preparations are made. There is a festival
coming to Toledo.
Friday July 9, 2010, on the Tama County Courthouse lawn, in downtown
Toledo, the Toledo Stoplight Festival will unfold in conjunction with
the Toledo Farmers Market and the annual Tama Toledo Chamber of
Commerce Barbecue Cook-off.
When the Farmers Market whistle blows at 5:00 PM, the festivities
will
begin, and continue until 8:00.
By that time the barbecue artists will be ready for you to sample
their creations. Besides the samples, you will be given a ballot to
vote for the best fare. A cook-off plate will cost you $2.00 and
will
be reserved for the first 200 guests.
At 5:15, Tama County Cattlemen's Association and other vendors will
be
ready to serve. Four Happy Chaps, a local band will take the stage
for an hour of rousing music. The Toledo Fire Department will host a
kid's water fight north of the Square. Many other kid's activities
will begin at this time, including a bounce castle, face painting and
washable tattoos.
At 5:30 Toledo Christian ATA will provide the guests with a Tae Kwon
Do demonstration.
At 6:00 the Sandhill Kid's Nickel Scramble will begin.
At 6:15 The Chamber of Commerce will have a tribute.
At 6:30, until festival close at 8:00, Mr. Babor's Neighbors, a
popular band from Des Moines will take the stage.
At 7:00 the Barbecue Cook-off winner will be announced.
Commemorative tee-shirts sporting the professionally created festival
logo will be available at the festival for $10.00.
Organizers are billing the festival as a night of fun on the Square,
for the entire family. Guests are encouraged to bring their lawn
chairs or blankets and settle in for an enjoyable evening. Guests
may
bring their own food and refreshments, or buy from the various
vendors
who will be set-up around the Square.
The Toledo Stoplight has been a fixture in Downtown Toledo since
October of 1949. Similar to many city center stoplights of that era,
the Toledo Stoplight has been the source of controversy over the
years. There are those who would remove it in the name of progress,
and those who wish to maintain the stoplight for posterity.
The Stoplight has been upgraded over the years, and currently has
high
tech, multi-element LED indicators skillfully hidden in the vintage
fixture. The pole, mechanism and lights sit high on a concrete
pedestal which was recently re-poured and painted.
Mark your calendars, pack your blanket. You are in for a wonderful
night of entertainment in Toledo.
