I’m using it for hog feed.

Send Us Your Photos
|
Family photographs are an important part of our
heritage, and I am sure many of you find those that we publish
interesting. But photographs have a way of disappearing and are
lost forever.
The Historical Society is attempting to collect these photos.
Please make a special effort to send us photos of people and places
so that we can preserve them in a central location. If you send
them, we will copy and return them. Better yet, since there is
always a chance of their being lost in the mail, you might make
copies and send them along. If you have pictures from digital
cameras or scanned in pictures you can e-mail them or send them
on disk or CD. Larger more detailed files are best.
Please write identifications on the back! Send them to Penn Colony Nebraska, 71329 638 Ave., Dawson, NE 68337
(or bring them to the picnic).
Thanks. -KMH
