Ms. Daughtry dictated her letter by phone. We apologize to Ms. Howes for misspelling her last name. ~ SAVE THE DATE ~ Saturday June 14, 2008 Third Annual “KUPL Fishing with Dad” Day Fishing Derby, Soap Box Derby, Concert, Concessions, Vendors and Fireworks Events Calendar Ladies Night -- February 6, 5-8 p.m. Where: Buckleberry Cottage and Out-on-a-Limb Ladies night is early this month due to Valentine’s Day Public Meeting - February 7 For more information see the notice below.
