Bruenings will be blasting at a quarry on Madison Road on Saturday. They blasted at the same quarry a few weeks ago and it was felt and heard at various places in Decorah. For safety reasons, we will not be posting times, as we don't want this to turn into a spectator event. This post is just for your information only.

I really appreciate knowing the dates these are happening as it can be quite disruptive and jarring to feel the impact without knowing for certain what it is and have heard others feel the same way. Thanks for this communication.
