CAT Tracks for July 17, 2010

...ends in Cairo.

Okay, I rounded off...it's only 981 miles, beginning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on May 22nd.

According to the article below, the swimmer - Mimi Hughes - is supposed to "land" at Ft. Defiance Park at approximately 7 p.m. TODAY...Saturday, July 17th.

Anyone wishing to welcome Mimi is asked to be at the Point between 5:30 and 6 p.m.

Catty Editor's Note:

From the July 15th edition of The Cairo Citizen...

On a not-so-catty note...
The aforementioned July 15th edition of The Cairo Citizen has a full front-page and (almost) full back-page color coverage of IL Governor Pat Quinn's visit to Cairo this past week to sign the Alexander-Cairo Port District bill.

So...if you are into "collector's editions", it is available locally for the everyday low price of fifty cents.
