Spending the weekend with Dwight and DeeOn Mack was their son, DeWitt and Pam, along with their children Dwight J, Shaylynn, and Casey. Shaylynn's friend, Kayla Zander, from Mandan came with them. While here they did some hunting. Teachers Convention is this Thursday and Friday so there won't be any school. Enjoy the fall weather!

This is the Max Library's Annual Flea Market and Book Fair from 9:30-2:30 or as late as you care to stay available, on Sunday, November 13th. Call or notify the Library of how many tables you would like to rent. Cost is $10 a table this year. These are 8 foot tables and well worth the price. The local churches are through with their services during these hours so the shoppers are numerous, besides the carloads coming from elsewhere after the noon hour. Lunch is also served so many come to eat as well as shop. The October Centennial planning meeting was held Monday, October 17th. If there is an interest in having a style show on the Friday afternoon of the Centennial week-end, please contact Joyce Malling at 679-2672, leave a message, or write her at P.O. Box #122; Max. There are other ideas of entertainment during that time, so we need to know if there is enough interest in having a style show, instead. The Golf Tournement Friday morning will be needing registrations once the fee is decided upon. David Songstad in Max will be the one to contact. Bands were again discussed as contracts haven't been received from some that have been contacted. Reminders of things to be done yet and menus to be decided on were some of the discussions of the meeting. There were only ten at this meeting, with many being out of town for various reasons, so no big decisions were made. The Fund Raising winner for October is Kay Olson of Douglas.
