Thank You:
The 53st Annual Marigold Days celebration was once again a huge success. I would like to thank everyone that worked with any of the events over the weekend. The Marigold Days Committee, the MRA, the Field of Flags committee, The Mantorville Fire Department, The VFW, The Congregational Church, The Car Show organizers, the live performers, the Fireworks, all of our many vendors and supporters and everyone else that made this weekend possible. With out your efforts this event would not happen so THANK YOU! I have uploaded some pictures from this past weekend on my blog at MayorBradford.BlogSpot.com take a look and feel free to leave a comment.

Street Update:
Road closed signs are in place and ready to go up on September 17, if all goes to plan. The brush has been cleared and some of the trees that needed to removed have been. The road is going to shift to the North within the road right-of-way and a new sidewalk is going in along the South Side of the road. The Road closing will be kept to a minimum; however, we will need to close the road entirely at times so that we can complete the full rebuild of the road-bed and sub surface. While the majority of the work being completed this fall and the road opened back up, look for final work and paint to be applied in the Spring or early next summer. For those living along fifth street, look for a letter this week with more details, we were late on getting this out and I apologize for the tardiness of this letter. We were trying to get full details from the pre-construction meeting before sending out the letter and the actual construction started quickly after the meeting and we simply missed getting this letter out before work started last week.

Yours in service,

Chuck Bradford,
