Kewanee Park District board members and employees held a Taco Night Thursday at Baker Park s 19th Hole to raise money for the Windmont Park Christmas Lighting Fund. Since vandals damaged displays and lights in the park on Dec. 26, approximately $6,500 has been raised through a number of community fundraisers to make sure the park is relit next December.
Tractors from the past and present were driven to school and on display Thursday by members of the Wethersfield FFA for Tractor Day, part of National FFA Week activities.

This brief paragraph was buried on page 8 of the Dec. 22, 1903, Kewanee Daily Star Courier: “The United States government wants the flying machine invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright, the Dayton, O., brothers who made a successful test of their invention at Kitty Hawk, N.C.”
That was our hometown’s inauspicious introduction to the age of flight, which had begun a mere five days earlier.
A young Annawan boy was only five years-old at the time, so he surely didn’t read that article. But by 1910, Frederick Eugene Machesney had fallen in love with “aeroplanes,” and within a decade and a half, had become Kewanee’s flying “ace.”
