Whittemore Notes Share Town Exhibit Plans and Local Happenings
Whittemore residents discuss county fair exhibits still short of full potential, envy Algona’s larger display, and plan future Township participation.

Local farming yields, corn stands, a new doctor, and county fair premiums by Thus, McGovern, and others round out a lively community update.
