Kudos to road crew I’d like to compliment the Morrow County road crew for their work on the Blake Ranch road. They have recently been working on this road and are addressing the underlying problems rather than just grading over the surface. Good job guys! Dan Grant Heppner $200,000 too much for fire hall Voters of Lexington, We are being asked to vote for a 20-year, $200,000 Fire Hall Bond. We do need a new fire hall, but not a $200,000 one. If we get bonded for $200,000, our bonding capacity is used up; so if the need to replace one of our trucks comes about, how do we afford it? One of our trucks is about 30 years old now; put another 20 years on them; will we be able to keep them running? Will we be able to find the needed parts? Please keep in mind that you are already paying $2 per thousand to support the fire department. These taxes do not include what it will cost to heat and light the new fire hall. Why not build a building for two trucks and have some ability to replace a truck? A town of about 200 people and a fire department for said town really don’t need four fire trucks or a building to hold that many. Do your own math; see what it will cost you. John Edwards, Lexington Haunted shop returns Fair introduces new Smalley lights up sewing challenges awards ceremony The quilt and cloth ing departments of the Mor row County Fair will fea ture two new and inspiring challenges next year. The Quilt Depart ment challenge requires entrants to make the “Shoo- Fly Doll Quilt” from the book, “The Civil War Sew ing Circle,” by Kathleen Tracy. M artingale Pub lishers is permitting 100 copies of the instructions and historical data to be printed for personal use of the quilters. Very few rules are in place for this challenge, allowing plenty o f room for individuality and creativity in each quilt. Any combina tion of fabrics and embel lishments are encouraged, but each quilt must be made following the directions in the printed instructions. The finished doll quilt is 22X27 inches and is designed with a simple and richly histori cal block. Call Peggy Fish- bum at 676-5246 or Cyn thia Wenberg at 676-5036 for a copy of the printed instructions and require ments. The Clothing De partment challenge is simi lar to the quilt challenge. In this event, the Vogue basic design V8598 blouse pattern is the only require ment. The Vogue pattern is available in town at Sew On Et Cetera for $ 1. Vogue was kind enough to sell 25 patterns in various sizes at this low price. Any fabric or com bination o f fabrics, any enhancements and personal touches, are encouraged.
