Quote of note
Council member Charlie Bradt has lived in the city of Shenandoah since 1980. He said in the last 40 years he has seen the city grow into its own self-starting city.
"When the city started it was just a sleepy little bedroom community and the feeder was only two lanes," he said. "Look at it now. We want to constantly build the city up. We're lucky for what got us here, but we are still growing so we have a lot to celebrate for in April, and we look forward to the next 50 years"
