The busy week-end of rummage sales and rodeo events went well despite the high humidity and drizzle. Check out the Max web-site at www.maxnd.com for the money-and-place-winners from the rodeo. The line-ups were posted on the Max website prior to the rodeo. As far as the City-Wide rummage sales, reports are that everyone was quite satisfied.

The Max High School Alumni meeting has been postponed until Sunday, September 13th at 2 p.m. in the Commons Room at the school. It had originally been scheduled for August 9th and the postponement came too late to have it in the Max News.
