The route for the 2008 RAGBRAI -- that's the Des Moines Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa -- included our Greene County seat of Jefferson as an overnight stop on Monday, July 21.

Most high schools in Iowa are opening their football seasons this week.       Send your comments to carla@Offenburger.com or chuck@Offenburger.com
