Included in this week's newsletter are pictures and how they beat out teams to win the title. Also included is the schedule of events for this weekend's Limestone Days and other upcoming events.
18 & Under Softball Champions!
Weeping Water's 18 & Under Softball Team brought back the championship plaque from the Annual Jessi Steinkuler League Tournament. The tournament was this past Saturday and Sunday, June 21-22.
Weeping Water fell short of Humboldt, but since they had been undefeated so far in the double elimination tournament they had another chance against Humboldt. This time they were triumphant and won with a score of 3-1. Congratulations girls!
City Wide Street Cleaning
City wide street cleaning will take place started June 23. Everyone's cooperation is needed to enable thorough and effective service. Please make an effort to remove all vehicles from streets while the street cleaning process is being completed.
Residents are encouraged to help maintain the city streets by refraining from blowing grass into streets when mowing. Thanks!

This booth will be located in the area by the gazebo in the middle of town from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. with information provided by members of the community. The booth will feature information on clubs in town, organizations, activities, etc. that women in the community might be interested in joining or participating in.
