Albia Restoration Days
Upcoming Deadlines:

ASAP       Parade Entries to the 25th Annual Albia Restoration
                   Days Parade. (The finale of Albia's Sesquicentennial
                   Summer of Fun.)
Mike "Maddog" Maddison, parade chairman, is a little anxious about people getting back to him on their parade entries. Mike and his committee are nearing their goal of 200+ entries. "Maddog" gets cranky when he doesn't meet his goals, so let's help Mike and committee push it over the top. Mike and committee, have a great parade lined up already, including featured guests the Des Moines' Isiserettes Drill & Drum Corp. There is still time to get your entry in. This year's Restoration Days Parade Theme is "Albia - 150 Years". Albia's own Lt. Governor Patty Judge is Parade Marshal. Don't miss out on being a part of the finale to Albia's 150th Birthday Celebration. Contact Mike at 877-36-Muddy (68339) extension 707 for more information.
(Prizes totaling $500 will be awarded.)
