Good Turnout for City Hall Selfie Day

Turnout has been good for City Hall Selfie Day in Effingham.

City Administrator Jim Arndt said the first order of donuts supplied by Dunkin Donuts were gone in a hurry. The Culver's frozen custard available through midday is also expected to go quickly.

People were showing up in a steady stream. For many, the chief goal was to get some "eclipse glasses" they can use to view the special event next Monday. The requirement, though, was to pose for a selfie that could be posted on Effingham's behalf in the selfie competition among City Halls across the nation.

A safety mascot was there to pose with the kids, or those not so young. The fire department had engines on display this morning, and the police department has a display available through midday.
