Street Report: Street Commissioner was not present, but the short street near the metal building in the park needs fixed before the reunion parade.  Bob to get hold of Chris.

Also, ditch right-of-ways and bushes near stop signs and hanging tree limbs need removed before the reunion due to extra traffic and people walking around town.
