osmosis.

be commended for their efforts in
the July 31 Main Street

Our ex-city manager Gary
Marks drove non-stop for eight
hours to be a part of the
shamrock events and subject
himself to the possibility of
having to "put his lips on the
line" to kiss the pig. As it turned
out, with
the good sports
crossing their fingers, it was
Mike Armato who was voted to
plant a smooch on the lovely big
sow, complete with bunch of
flowers. The Unruh family was
generous to bring the pig to the
event.

McGuire, bicycle. Coast to
