Mon.–Fri.. Band camp, Lakeside, 8 a.m., final week of mornings. Melody achieved (see Schools); harmony scheduled for August; the water tower reports steady improvement.

Wed., July 22. Legion baseball, Post 162 at home, 7:15 p.m., under the working light — now with a winning record to defend. Sweater for the third-base shade, as ever.

Thu., July 23. Ladies’ Aid, First Lutheran, 1 p.m. Quilting, coffee, and pillowcase inspection for fair-bound quilts, per the instruction sheet, per what happened to the Dresden Plate.

Thu., July 23. Possible thunderstorms, afternoon. The gardens have requested them; the band camp has requested they hold until noon; the weather will consult neither.

Fri., July 24. Story time, Misquah Public Library, 10:30 a.m., Megan Tollefson presiding. The ladder has been inspected by the highest authority and found very satisfactory.

Sat., July 25. Farmers’ stand, town park, 8 to noon. Zucchini free with any purchase, with most purchases, and, late in the morning, with eye contact.

Sat., Aug. 1. FAIR ENTRIES CLOSE. Open class, two dollars, fair office, extended hours 8 to noon. Enter the pickles. You are wrong roughly half the time about your pickles.

Sat., Aug. 1. Sorensen Hardware closes early — second time in forty years, same reason as the first. Congratulations may be transacted at the counter all week.

Thu., Aug. 13. Band lawn concert, Lakeside school lawn, 7 p.m. Bring chairs (see Classifieds). Mr. Brekke will be thanked, briefly, per the negotiated terms.

Late August. Special planning board meeting on the Hagen pasture — date to be posted at the clerk’s window. The board is advising itself; the town is advised to check the window.
