Queen Colleen did an amazing job representing Calhoun of course all of us in Kampsville knew she would. If you’ve ever met Colleen, you know exactly what I’m saying, she’s fabulous. On a personal note she grew up playing at my house with Olivia and Emmie and so I’m Nanny to her. She’s also a member of the Kids Christmas and Halloween Party Committee. Just when I thought this Nanny couldn’t be prouder she proved me wrong. Watching her compete in the top 16 when asked about the importance of being involved in organizations, she answered about her favorite things as a kid growing up in Kampsville were the Halloween and Christmas parties and how she continues to be a part of them so all kids can grow up with those happy memories. Well my eyes filled with tears. Queen Colleen you are amazing! All of Kampsville couldn’t be any prouder.
The cold temperatures have iced up our river and caused the Kampsville Ferry to be closed. They tried to open briefly Saturday but there was just too much ice. I got on the last load Saturday morning coming home from my grandson Schaefer’s ballgame in Pawnee. There was a great big Eagle sitting on the ice. So the Eagles are back as well as our geese on the riverfront. They really are something to see.
