Todays Gazette is brought to you from Lakes Side Resort & General Store
on beautiful Table Rock Lake near Branson Missouri.
------------------------
The current temperature is 47 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 68/36
Normal H/L temp for this date is 63/38
It was 15 degrees on this date in 1989
There was a light layer of frost on Sami's P-Squirrel this morning.
Certainly not enough to stop sugarbeet harvest, although, it was enough
to remind us...... that day isn't far off.

L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
--------------------------
It really is a beautiful time of the year in the Northern Red River
Valley. As I look out my "office" window at all the foliage that
surrounds me, I see a myriad of colors that might best be compared to
those of a beautiful spring rainbow.
Gosh we live in a nice area. And, we have more jobs, than people to
fill them.
--------------------------
I'll admit, I'm more than just a little pleased with the response I'm
hearing to PaPa Lou's BBQ sauce. I am even more pleased with the
response I am hearing from members of the Gazette family.
Christine sent the following. >>>>
Hi Gary PaPa Lou's BBQ Sauce continues to be a hit around the area
and beyond. Thanks so very much for getting the word out. I received an
email from the gentleman in Branson with the store so I hope to get a
bottle of sauce out for him to try. I will be dropping off some tomorrow
in Fargo as well. I now have it in stores in Karlstad, Argyle and
Warren, Minn., as well as Park River, Oakwood and Minto. Wednesday
was a GREAT day, I filled up the Country Smokehouse and Grafton Floral
again and my new accounts include JR's Bar in Oakwood, True Value and
Landowski's Furniture in Grafton, Jim's Super Value, Wayne's Variety,
and Java Fix in Park River, as well as Cenex and the Harvey Avenue
Saloon in Minto. I am so very, very grateful Gary for the support and
encouragement I have received as I am out selling Papa Lou's. When
the restaurant closed, my husband and I had a few weeks of depleted
faith, but with each new day comes another bit of grace to be grateful
for. I can't thank you and all the businesses enough. Blessings
always, Christine <<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing Christine.

The gentleman from Branson that Christine refers to is Rick Kettells.
Rick and Stephanie are the owners of the Lakeside Resort & General
Store. Their facility might well serve as a destination for those
planning a trip to the Branson area. To that end I am pleased to provide
the following information.

The sites and sounds of Branson Missouri needs little introduction. It
goes without saying, if your into entertainment, Branson should be on
your destination list. Besides the Branson musical entertainment centers
is a whole variety of interesting things to see and do.
