We created a community calender so everyone in the community can post thier events for all to see. Whether it is a Church event, Garage sale, Business event, Birthday, or a Public cook out, You can add it to the Calender. This is still experimental and may need to be fine tuned so please be patient if it isn’t working right. Check it out hereI noticed that sometimes you have to hit the re-load button before the calender will load..

We started a New survey concerning what could be done with the old County Jail.You can vote on the Main Page of the Yourtown2 website. If you have any ideas for future surveys Please let us know.

While working to improve the website I uploaded a Survey form to test it and the Subject was “Should we allow a Hazardous Watse site in Our County” Well The results of this Un-official survey was  31 People voted NO and 3 People voted YES. Now that I know this works We will using it more often.  A new survey should be ready by tomorrow (Sunday)

  For some reason to comment box wont work for me so I am posting here to answer Citizen’s comment.Thanks for the posting. Now I get it. You are looking at this from the standpoint that the Business Did NOT offer these services to ANYONE so therefore should not be forced to offer them to gays or any other person. If that is the case you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. But the Business did and still does offer Civil ceremonies and that is what I am referring to and why all the examples were listed in my previous post.  click here and scroll towards the bottm of the page. http://www.timbercreekbb.com/weddings.htm. You can also see where they added the No Civil UNIONS as if thats different from a Civil Ceremony.And the turmoil could have been avoided entirely had it not been for Mr. Walden’s own comments.Quote”The co-owner of the Timber Creek B&B, Jim Walder, also wrote e-mails to Wathen citing various biblical verses and denouncing homosexuality as “wrong and unnatural,” adding that “we will never host same-sex weddings even if they become legal in Illinois.””If that is discrimination, I guess we unfortunately discriminate,” Walder wrote in correspondence provided to the Paxton Record by Wathen.”  END QUOTEAs for a lawsuit for money I agree “gimme a break”. But I do think it is fair and sometimes necessary to file a complaint and try to resolve the Issue IF it can be resolved.Again thanx for taking the time to post. Your viewpoint is appreciated. Take care

There is only 7 hours left for the survey on whether you think we should have a Hazardous Waste Site in Ford county. You can vote on the Main Page HERE. We also added more Businesses and Shops to our Paxton Business Directory.
