Friday we celebrated Cloud 9 Antiques & Such open house and Ribbon Cutting!
Owner,Connie Kondrat and her husband moved to Lebanon a few months ago and fell in love with the small town feel. When they came across two buildings for sale in the Historical part of Lebanon they had a vision of putting in a Winery. The property came with an old house; so with love of antiques and art work they decided to make it an antique store. Make sure to come and shop at the store with new items everyday.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF CAREER: UNDER COVER IN THE CIA – Imagine living a lie for 31 years. That’s what James Olson and his wife Meredith did while spying for the CIA. Spying for his country was the furthest thing from his mind when Olson, a farm boy from Iowa, received a mysterious phone call that changed his life forever. In his presentation, Olson takes you inside the real world of being a CIA spy. He describes the rigorous training they receive and the difficult dilemmas that they face in the field on a daily basis. Olson explains how the global war on terror affects everyone and that the country needs to know that the United States will be hit again within its borders.
