Blunt Red Centennial History Book Update:

While the deadline for the update of the Blunt history book has passed, the history book committee is still looking for
specific histories to update for the last 25 years of Blunt’s history. Especially histories of businesses and organizations
that have come and gone or those still here.

At this time, the committee does not know what a price range will be for the updated history book, but they would like
to know how many people are interested in the book, so they know how many to print.
The committee is hoping to have the book completely typeset by the next planning meeting, March 21st.
