There are very few good times to live in Algona....ABATE is one of the worst times.This week is the ABATE of Iowa Freedom Rally in Algona. I'll be up there selling raffle tickets for our charity group. I'm not camping and the nearest hotel for a reasonable price was in Humboldt so I'll be staying there. I'll be close enough to Fort Dodge and Taco Tico that I should stop by either Thursday when I go out there or Sunday when I head back to Omaha.
