To look in and not out, to look forward and not back, to look up and not down.

IF THE ROOSTER DIES . . . . . . . BUY AN ALARM CLOCK!

Friday is Halloween. There will be many youngsters “spooking their way” around town. Please drive carefully, and watch out for those who are out for a night of fun.

Many of you have by now probably received a copy of the CD – “Bluffs of Valmeyer” by Valmeyer resident and musical artist, John E. Harper. John has decided to embark on this endeavor as a way to help raise funds for the development of the museum by the Valmeyer Community Heritage Society. The production and distribution of the CD is John’s gift to the community. If you have not received a copy of the CD, and you are interested in receiving one, please contact Tammy Crossin, President of the Valmeyer Community Heritage Society.
