Fugitive turkeys still at large
No matter how tasty the bait, those fowl little critters just won't get into the trap! Officially ordered to relocate by the La Conner Town Council, eight town turkeys are still strutting around like there's no Thanksgiving!

Library news
The La Conner School District and La Conner Regional Library merger has been put on the slow track for a few years -- In today's paper Amylynn Richards explains that their respective governing boards have targeted 2015 as the time to revisit the idea to move the library on to school property.
Meanwhile, the local Pull & Be Damned columnist thinks a library like the one shown above would look nice in La Conner. Jim Smith was on the East Coast recently and came back with this photo of the Boston Public Library reading room.
Chevy Commercial
Dozens of people, a fleet or rental trucks and lots of camera equipment invaded town on Monday to film a Chevrolet Commercial that is supposed to air later this month. The old gas station on Morris Street and the tavern on South First were the focal points. Traffic was snarled and actors wearing 1950s style clothing were walking around on the streets.
Speaking of commercials: My Life is a Postcard
If that link doesn't work (it's prone to being taken down), go to MyLifeIsAPostcard, a page on Facebook. You'll see a La Conner original from La Conner's original Dan Jensen. He has the whole town grinning today!
