Reading Program is a success
The Summer Reading Program at the Prairie Community Library ended with the reading of tall tales and stories of the old west. While donning their coon skin caps, the  participants
then raced through an obstacle course, trying to better their time with
each run. At the end of the day, prizes were awarded, as follows:
For time spent reading in the Pre-K group, first place went to Lindsey
Goeckner and second place to Kyle Tillinghast; in the 1st-2nd grade group,
first place went to Lance Goeckner, and second place was a tie between
Kevin Tillinghast and Katarina Tillinghast; in the 3rd-4th grade group,
first place went to Dakota Wilson, second place to Katherine Nida, and
third place to Drew Cochran. Perfect attendance winners were Dakota
Wilson, Gregory Hattrup, Drew Cochran, Katherine Nida and Lindsey Goeckner.
The only two who finished all 16 activities on their punchcards were Drew
Cochran and Katherine Nida. Leah Holthaus won the 9,000 kernels of
popcorn with her guess of 9,999; and Bridget Beckman won the 105 pieces
of candy corn with her guess of 66. In the Bear Coloring Contest,
the winners were: Aurelia Bruno for her Scary Bear; Clark Bruno for his
Rock Star Bear; Leah Holthaus for her Pioneer Bear; Katherine Nida-1st
place, Katarina Tillinghast-2nd place and Adrianne Nuxoll-3rd place, for
their Best-Dressed Bears; Drew Cochran-1st place, Nathan Beckman-2nd place
and Lance Goeckner-3rd place, for their Cowboy Bears; and Dakota Wilson-1st
