*************************************

Salt

As you've probably heard on news reports, road salt supplies are running very low throughout the area.  We are lucky that we can still get salt, but we cannot get much.  Therefore, during any upcoming snow events, we may not be able to salt the roads.  Please prepare and respond practically.  Also, keep in mind that when we've had snow or ice, River becomes one-way going down from Stonegate Road - don't try to go up that hill when the roads are bad. 

Keep your fingers crossed that the snow is over and keep repeating this mantra; 

In like a lion, out like a lamb

In like a lion, out like a lamb

In like a lion, out like a lamb...

This is made possible by a grant from the Illinois Humanities Council.  Discover the story of a changing America, told through the sound

of one of early radios's most popular influential programs - from its first broadcast in 1924 to its last in 1960. This preceded the success of the Grand Ole Opry and made Chicago the capital of country music prior to World War II.  Parry is a producer/director with over 25 years of experience in broadcast and corporate media production.

All Trout Valley residents are invited to attend.  There is no admission price, but a small donation would be welcome.
