| Historical Society The Fillmore Historical Society met on September 13, 2011
Those present were Audrey Probst, Evelyn Livingston, Wilda Prater, Evelyn Vincent, Beulah Whitten, Amber and Russell Siebert, Carol Moral, Gail Bowman and Dale and Joyce Neisler.
Russell gave an update on the process of the construction of the building. The entry door is to be installed next week, after which will come the plumbing and electrical wiring of the building. A change in putting in the insulation promises to be more efficient and quicker to install. Weitekamp Electrical of Nokomis will install the outside lead wire into the main electrical box and help with determining the amount of wiring and electrical fixtures needed. Russell and Dale plan to do the inside wiring. Russell also explained how the air conditioning and heating thermostats would work. Joyce told about the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities that were donated by the Philip Grabbe Family. Russell Siebert, Dale Neisler, Danny Hopwood and Curtis Hopwood moved the cabinets to Fillmore. Jeff and Brenda Miller have donated space in their building to store the cabinets until time to install them. There are a nice assortment of cabinets and they should work well in the plans for the kitchen of the new building. Under new business, the date for the Fall Fund Raiser was set for November 4, 2011.
