    Default More DePue history

    For the a few years the DePue Mens Club sold commermorative(sp?) license plates which were valid on cars for 30 days. Here is one of the plates. They were themed around the t-shirt designs for that year.

    Dale,

    What is this that I hear Depue will not be the site for this year's nationals. Is this true & why not?

    John - Things are still up in the air. Perhaps someone with the USTS should answer your question. I really dont want to speak out of turn and put wrong information out there. Things are progressing in regards to the permanent dam for Lake DePue which will ensure there will be racing for years to come,which is a bit of good news.

    Does anybody know if a bid for the Apba PRO Nationals was turned in at the meeting?

    Default 12 hours later

    Little hard to see but this 12 hours later. The roof of the restroom building is barely visible.

    The second picture is the boat ramp and the water about to get onto the street.

    Isn't it sad Gene. I don't know bad the Mississippi is but all up and down the Illinois the flooding is incredible. For those of you that know the area the village of Utica has sustained a lot of damage and the downtown area of Marseilles has flooded as well.

    The way across for miles is the I-39 bridge.
