Sorry for the lack of action in the past month. There has been some exciting events in Albia and more are coming up.
First: Senator Joe Biden will be making a stop on Sat. 11/24/07. He will be at the White Buffalo at 2:30pm.
Also Senator Barack Obama was in Albia on 11/8/07 for a quick lunch stop at Smitty's.

A few weeks earlier Governor Richardson stop for breakfast and Mom's Place

and Senator Edwards made a stop at the High School.

I hope those candidates that have yet to see Albia will have a chance before the caucus and we welcome any candidate that wants to make a return trip to Albia.
