Dollar General

Dollar General isn't new to Altamont, but it does have a new home and a new look.  The store has relocated to the south end of town. It can now be found off the Interstate across from Mcdonald's.  The new building means more floor space for coolers, freezers and an expanded grocery department.

Farmer's Market

 Altamont now has a Farmer's Market! You can find it at Klitzing Park each Saturday through the end of August from 8 to Noon.   Find a variety of fresh produce, baked goods and crafts, plus the Schuetzenfest will be selling bratwurst.  
(For anyone that would like to have a booth, it is $5.00 and you can set up after 7 o'clock.)

Full Bloom

Altamont is again in full bloom, thanks to the Altamont Garden Club.  I believe the flowers are arranged by Alwerdt's Gardens and the Garden Club waters then every day. They are all around The Triangle and down Washington Street.  The Garden Club will host a Fall Festival September 8.  Make sure to come out and support them if you can!

Orange and Black

Check out Altamont Homecoming Keepsakes to see our line of Alumni Reunion/Homecoming t-shirts, caps and drink huggies. Wear your school colors with pride!  T-shirts have a list of Altamont businesses on back.  The baseball caps are embroidered with the logo on front and "Altamont Homecoming 2012" on back.  Huggies are orange with black lettering, with "Go ACHS" printed on the bottom.  Limited supplies, so hurry!

Park Update

There is new play equipment at Klitzing Park! It was a little sad to see the old equipment go for sentimental reasons (at least for us "old" folks), but I imagine it was over 50 years old!  Time for our young people to have a safe place to play.  Altamont is known for it's nice parks.
