As of November 21 we have received donations of $5,546.00  toward the actual bid  to restore one of the Republic Signs.  Pinnacle Sign Company, in Springfield, Missouri has been given the bid of $7,987.00 to refurbish and install the sign.  It will be placed on South Main Street and 60 Hwy.   This sign once set near the intersection of North Main and Hwy 174,  the one on South Main was identical but was destroyed.  We are working with MODOT for placement of the sign on the northeast corner of the intersection.

CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR

Sponsored by

The Republic Historical Society

 Saturday, December 4, 2010

Good reviews were given by those attending the Christmas Tour of Homes, some saying it was the best yet.  Our thanks go out to the families who opened their homes for the tour, and those who enjoyed the magnificient decor of the home owners labor making the tour possible.  Thanks for supporting our main fund-raiser for the year, which makes it possible to keep the Historical Society in operation.

Thank you

Bill
