Starting August 5, 2024, the demolition company that was hired to complete the work at the Micro Industries building in the 200 and 300 block of W 2nd St. will be using hydrants on W 1st and 4th ave and W 2nd st and 3rd ave intersection for dust control while the work is being completed. This may cause discolored water throughout the work day in the orange colored area and possibly further out depending on use. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Looking for a food vendor without a truck - just want a vendor using a tent, grills, warmers, etc for the 3rd Annual Bellson Music Fest - A Centennial Celebration!
