There was a surprise family gathering to celebrate Vi Kostenko's 95th birthday this past week-end. She was very surprised! Almost all of the relatives were able to come. What a wonderful time for Vi and her family.

Next Friday, May 24th Giffey's Yard and Garden will be selling their flowers and plants at the Max Senior Center on Main Street, from 3-7. This is Older American Day so the Seniors will be serving coffee and bars. There will not be a bake sale this year.

On the cover of the 2013 McLean County Phone Book, a handy thin book, you will notice one surprised little girl, Angel Becker, riding one of Warren Schmidt's sheep in the mutton busting at the Max Roughrider Rodeo, 2012. Angel is the granddaughter of Carolyn and Robert Barden of Max. Also shown are Casey and Dennis Fannik.
