Evelyn McCarthy’s 95th Birthday Bash, which was scheduled for Saturday, September 19th at the Eagles Club in Sheldon, has been cancelled due to a fall that has sent her to the hospital.
Road Closures:
U.S. 18 between Hartley and the east O’Brien County line — from Vine Avenue to 100th Avenue — will close starting Monday, September 21st and lasting through Thursday, Oct. 1, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Cherokee construction office.
Crews will close U.S. 18 in both directions to install a scrub seal and perform micro surfacing, part of a pavement maintenance project. When the roadway is closed, drivers will follow a marked detour route using O’Brien
County roads M-12, B-20 and M-22.
