Ask The General, Oct 22nd, 2007
I have only lived here a few years but I have a question that may sound foolish. I watched the Doo Dah Parade last year on Cable One. I enjoyed the broadcast and the broadcasters but I really don't understand it. Could you explain it too me a little bit more.

Money is tight for my family this year but we still want to participate in Neewollah. Are there any activities going on that won't cost as much for us this year?

I have read in your column and seen on the website that the Clydesdales are returning to Independence for Neewollah. Why can’t we have them every year?

Ask The General, Oct 1st, 2007
We are new to Independence. I have visited your website. I have heard that the Marine Corps Band is going to have a concert, but I cannot find the date and time. Also, I assume the Clydesdale Horses are going to be in the Grand Parade. Could you please give me the date and time of the concert? Will tickets be sold for this?

Ask The General, Sept 24, 2007
I am so excited about Neewollah this year but I have some questions about tickets. I appreciate that I can now buy these through the mail but I have always enjoyed being able to exactly pick out my seats in beautiful Memorial Hall. However, I hate to be a bother but is there any way for me to get tickets early?

Ask The General, Sep 17th, 2007
My family moved here a little over a year ago. Last fall my parents visited us during Neewollah. They were amazed that such a fabulous celebration can be pulled off in a town of this size. They keep asking me how it is organized and put together.

I heard that Neewollah is celebrating its 50th year but I thought it was started in 1919 so why is Neewollah just now celebrating this milestone?

I am a night owl and don’t want to call and disturb people late at night to find out answers about Neewollah. Where can I get information and ask questions without bothering people?

Q&A Oct. 31 2005
First of all, October is my favorite month with the cooler weather, the pretty colors, but most of all Neewollah. I feel so blessed living in a community like this that can provide such a wonderful experience...

We have attended Neewollah once before, but this year my granddaughter is marching in one of the bands coming in for the marching contest. Could you give me some information about it? I’m bringing my mother, too.

Our favorite activity at Neewollah is the Saturday Grand Parade. Are the high gasoline prices going to affect the number of entries, especially the bands, in the parade this year?

I read the Neewollah website often, and decided to write to you under “Ask the General.” Will any question I ask be answered on the website or in the newspaper?

Q&A Sept. 26th 2005
I have enjoyed the letters and responses, which have been appearing in The Reporter. This is a different type of question. I am a booster of the bands and particularly of the Band Competition held every year at Riverside Stadium. My question is, in your opinion, why don't more people attend this highly entertaining and unique experience?

I have been enjoying your "Ask the General" weekly column. It provides valuable insight and information to not only local resident but also to visitors in our community. How do I submit a question to your column concerning any event in Neewollah 2005?

Q&A Aug. 8th, 2005
Every time I see the sign at Memorial Hall saying, “closed” I think of Neewollah. Where are we going to have all the functions with this facility closed?

My favorite part about Neewollah is the great food vendors that come to downtown. Could you please tell me how they are selected and why we can’t have more?
