What a view! This week recorded all the sights and sounds of Montezuma Community Development and City of Montezuma's big celebration - spread over four pages and 30 pictures. We capture the detailed art - and the art of detailing - with Tattoo Studio One One Zero and Highway 85 Auto Detailing. Our columns discuss a second-story perspective and walking in the aftermath. We get a closeup of tidepools with Ms. Amy with Poweshiek County Conservation. We pull up a chair with Pat. And we set our eyes on what's ahead - Deep River Fun Days and Poweshiek County Fairgrounds .
We tried to cover it all this past week - and had a blast doing it. We hope you enjoy everything in The Record!

This week's Record will hit newsstands first thing tomorrow morning - and hey, we're even offering a drive-thru option! Road Trip Coffee Co. joins us this week as our latest newsstand! Grab your weekly Record with your favorite drink next time you drive through. But don't drink and read - that's not safe!

If you normally grab your Record at Casey's in Brooklyn or Montezuma, you'll have to check out one of our other, local newsstands instead. You can also subscribe and use what you save to go and buy more coffee. It's a win, win!
