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.

"Loaded Twinkie"

Merry Christmas!

I miss the old Christmas Lights Altamont used to display in December. Remember? They were big and clunky and as a kid they meant Christmas was almost here! I especially miss the special ones that hung by Dr. Huelskoetter's office and on the corner by the Bank. But I still enjoy the lights we have now. Main Street at night is still a treat in December!

The New Face of S&W

Main Street looks a little different now! S&W "porched" in the "patio", creating a place to store carts and, more importantly, keeping the warm air inside and the cold out. The customers no longer walk into a cold store!
