Congratulationsto John Koessl, the winner of the Marston Anderson Memorial Cup, and Mike Tomasian, the winner of the Louie Oldenburg Memorial Cup, in the Car and Motorcycle Show which was conducted Sunday at the Country Walk Shops.

It was a bit rainy at first, but Olga and I had a great time at the show. There were some totally awesome cars and motorcycles on display, and the food and entertainment was fantastic.

Join Olga and me for the annual Roofing of the Goats Parade at 10:30 a.m. June 10.The parade begins at the corner of Mill Road and South Bay Shore Drive, and unless its raining the parade will culminate with the first roofing of the goats of the season at Al Johnsons Restaurant & Butik.

All goats are invited to participate in the parade, and goat costumes, Viking hats, and other creative endeavors are encouraged. There will also be a goat plop contest. Im pleased to announce that Ive been chosen to be the grand marshal of this years parade. As you can see, the parade organizers have very good taste.

Sister Bay has offered free concerts in the park for over 25 years. The tradition resumes on June 14at the Sister Bay Stage in Waterfront Park.Bring your own chair, blanket or beach towel and snag a spot. Wednesday evening concerts begin at 6 p.m.and Saturday night movies begin shortly after dusk. The first concert of the season will feature the Modern Day Drifters, who play classic and modern country music.

Any documents to be shredded as well as any appliances or computer components to be recycled should be brought to the parking lot at the Liberty Grove Town Hall,11161 Old Stage Road, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. June 17. Please note that there will be a limit of five bankers boxes per household or business.

Im pleased to announce that the village will be introducing a free trolley service as a mode of public transportation in the near future. The trolley will service Sister Bays motels, the downtown, and the Country Walk Shops via an approximately 30-minute loop during the upcoming season. The village is currently accepting applications for trolley drivers. If you have strong customer service skills and possess a CDL with a passenger endorsement please submit an application ASAP. The anticipated wage rate is $18per hour, and applications can be obtained at the Administration Office.

As you can see a considerable amount of progress has been made on the Sister Bay Market Place parking lot. Surfacing was to be fully completed by June 1 with lighting and landscaping work to be completed shortly thereafter. The new parking lot brings 48 additional parking spaces to the downtown area.

On top of that, approximately 65 additional new parking spaces have been installed in the village over the last 12 months.Signsdirecting people to public parking areas were installed last Friday, so hopefully those signswill help folks navigate their way around the village more quickly.

Happy Birthday wishes are extended to Tammy Anderson, whose special day is June 7, Jerry Wesa, whose special day is June 8, Emily Anderson, whose special day is June 15, and Wayne Anderson, whose special day is June 17th.

Board of Review will be conducted from 6-8 June 6at the Fire Station on Mill Road. If you want to receive copies of agendas for any upcoming village meetings please provide your name and e-mail address to the folks in the village office. Agendas and packet materials can also be accessed on the Villages website.

Well, I guess thats all for this week. If you know of any special events which will be occurring in the Village, or would like to have me publicize birthdays or anniversaries of folks who live or work here, please provide that information to my friends in the Village Office at least one week in advance of the special day(s).

Have a great week.
