Rigbys’ Display Welcomes President to Village

Did you notice the display Bill and Janet Rigby put together on their porch at Elm and Delaware to welcome President Obama to town? Look closely at the cardboard cut-out of the President at right: He has a Band-Aid over one eye, lipstick on one cheek, and a Hawaiian lei over his shoulders. Janet downloaded a sheet of blank House of Representatives, wrote "kick me" on it, and put it on his back (Charles Hill photo)
