Who will drive our village manager, Kazshark this year? He loves being seen and I am sure he has secured a spot in the parade this year.
They should all be walking, we have an environment to save.
Ugh and ewe
Give it a rest! he’s living rent free in your head
At least Keith cares enough to show up as opposed to Schwarz who can’t be bothered.
I have never seen a superintendent or a village manager in a town parade before. Is this something new?
i guess you have not been to any parades ?
What time is the military flyover?
Idea not entertained due to the Valley Hospital tax failure and forthcoming hazmat cleanup cost at Schedler.
