Welcome to a very hot summer. Hope you are spending some time cooling off at the lake.
There's lots happening in town with Madison Old Home Week approaching and events going on at the Madison Library. At the library, the famous Major Rogers program scheduled for July 27 has been canceled. Stay tuned for any new date to be scheduled.
