Ahead of the Troy Bicentennial celebration Sept. 20 and 21, the city broke open a long-sealed time capsule on Sept. 16 to view what citizens from 25 years ago had buried. Above: Velma Dunard of Troy holds up one of the artifacts pulled from the unsealed time capsule.

Saturday was the last leg of work at the south entrance of Elsberry as the Elsberry Community Growth Association and volunteers will be planting a uniform row of flowering trees and installing a new “Welcome to Elsberry” stone monument sign.

During the Elsberry City Council meeting is was found that both Tornado Sirens would need to be replaced.

Reaching the golden mark is an accomplishment for anything and calls for a celebration, which is exactly what the Lincoln County Old Threshers Association has planned for their annual event.
