Calling all history buffs. Here is your chance to come and see local history.

Cedar River Watershed District public outreach coordinator Tim Ruzek, also co-chair of Vision 2020 Waterways committee, will give a power point presentation at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, of dozens of historic images from the Cedar River in the Austin area dating back to the late 1800s.

Present-day photos will be used to show how some areas have changed dramatically over the years. Everyone is welcome.

At noon on Friday, the youth from Be Your Best Riverland’s summer academy will make a Mexican meal for everyone.

They will be making the meal and serving the meal. Then they would like to play a couple of games with you.

There will be a $5 charge for the meal to help cover the cost. Hope to see you all there.

Show your support for these dedicated kids. Please sign up by stopping by the front desk or calling 507-433-2370, ext.0

Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 or a sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday we will be having stroganoff hotdish in the coffee shop starting at 11:30 a.m. for $2. You are always welcome at the center.
