Well the talent show in Dodge has come and gone but not without good memories of great talent and a great show.  There wasn’t even standing room left in the auditorium.  The fleischkuekla supper sponsored by the Sunshine club was also well attended.

The Saddle Club also had a 50-50 drawing that was won by Robert Greenshields of Dodge.
