Congratulations to the cast and crew of this year’s Passion Play for a job well done. The production was amazingly professional. Although I loved it the last time I attended (about ten years ago), I loved it even more this year. There were special effects and other additions that I did not recall, and suspect were not present when I last attended. Even the lighting and sound seemed much improved.
First the smoke, then the BOOM!

The implosion of the Washington Bridge on April 11 was both exciting and a little sad. The old bridge was such an iconic structure for the community, but we appreciate the wider lane widths on the new bridge!Over 60 Artists Participated in New Melle Area Paint Outs

Over 60 artists from the Augusta Plein Air Art Festival participated in two events near New Melle on Monday, April 29, 2019. The first event was an early morning paint out at the home of Carla and Phil Brakensiek. Just over 40 artists powered though a rain shower, painting from their cars, under umbrellas, under the covered porch, and looking out the garage door.
