The Arapahoe City Council met on Tuesday, March 15th. Mayor John E.

The Fairy Tale Ball was back on the calendar this year as the Arapahoe Public Library and Friends of the Library hosted the dance for young girls and their dads/partners. A photo booth, dancing and ice cream sundaes with sprinkles made for a magical night to remember. The Fairy Tale Ball was held at the Ella Missing Community Center in Arapahoe on Sunday, March 20th. Several young ladies brought their dads, uncles, and grandpas out to enjoy the afternoon with them.

Thank you so much for all the cards, flowers, and well wishes we received for our 50th wedding anniversary. A special thanks to our children for the wonderful dinner. We are so blessed. Monte and Kristie Warner
