Turnout for the Sidey event on Saturday was a great success! Everyone had a great time remembering Hugh and Ed Sidey and the history of the Adair County Free Press. This was a celebration of the 150 years of the local newspaper and the family who founded it. It was also in recognition of Hugh and Ed Sidey's body of work and their contribution to the Greenfield community. The Iowa Public Television network filmed a documentary called "The Sidey Report" that was premiered at the local movie theater for all the community to attend. It will also appear on the Iowa public tv channel in March. The theater was full and there was an excellent turnout at the 

library where there was a display table of Hugh Sidey's work. The reception at the Hotel was well attended also. All in all it was a great celebration!
