Rockwell approves dueling pianos fundraiser

     The Rockwell City Council discussed speed limits and cell phones during their regular meeting on Wednesday, May 4 at City Hall.

     Rockwell Fire Chief Mark Lowe was present at the meeting to ask the council permission to close the street near Rockwell Area Market for Dueling Pianos. The street will be closed from 2:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, to accommodate the annual fundraising event. This is the first year holding the event on a Saturday instead of a Friday, which Lowe hopes will encourage more people to attend the fundraiser.

     Mike Brown was also present at the meeting to request that a speed limit sign be placed on Main Street going east out of the city. Brown has noticed that many drivers ignore the 25 MPH speed limit as they leave the city and suggested placing a sign on the corner of 5th Street as a reminder.
