Shouting out a happy 70th birthday to the Center for American Archeology. The Center for American Archeology is a huge part of Kampsville both in our history and our present. We are excited by the work they continue to do. It’s great to see our school being used for field school and we always look forward to the students calling Kampsville their home for the summer. As well as the opportunities they provide for our local students throughout the entire year.
Archeology Days in town Saturday were a huge success. My grandson Ren and I attended and we very much enjoyed all the hands on activities.
It is definitely our highlight of the Summer when the Sibley boys, Walker and Wyatt, have their amazing sweet corn for sale. Lots of county residents had some delicious sweet corn with their supper last week. If you missed it this go around you will definitely want to catch them again in a few weeks.
