NEW ENTRIES FOR JUNE 2007
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
October, 2007 marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of
the Hennepin Canal. On September 8, many of the area towns
will be participating in the Centennial Celebration. I have
added some of the history on the Canal and it's potential
impact on Tampico as reported in the Tampico Tornado, 1907.
See our Hennepin Canal Photo Album

Stay tuned for details on Tampico’s participation in this
historic event!

What EVER would I do (or all of us) without our little
“helper bees.” This was a difficult month for me
personally, but I am so very grateful for Melva, Becky and
Deb’s help this month. We’ll be able to start off July’s
entries with a bang, thanks to their great generosity and
willingness to share with our site members. BIG HUGS to
these special ladies!
Hope you’ll drop in for a visit soon. It is my pleasure to
help you in any way I am able.
