Wapallo has so much to offer the children of all ages. With Kamboo's help they could make it that much better. I have many fond memories from the days in Wapallo. They play with the best of them.

When I got married to MY Wapellonian 24 years ago, I was a little hesitant to move to such a small town. After living here for the last 23 years, raising our sons here and working in the community, I'm DEFINITELY a believer! Rondalyn, you are awesome! Thanks for investing so much into our little community! Wapello ROCKS!

Wapello commented 12/05/2007

BELIEVE! Wapello is awesome! And the people ROCK!

homesweetehome commented 12/08/2007

This is so great! Thanks for all of the work! Go Wapello Go! What a place to call home!

Golfer commented 12/08/2007

Wapello is a "warm and fuzzy" community. Everyone helps each other in time of need. The churches welcome new members--love to have youth. The town supports its youth through numberous sporting events. Lots of moms and dads devote lots of time to giving quality to time to the youth of Wapello. It is a great place to raise your family. The Parks are there for youth, but are used by people of all ages, the seniors love walking in the parks, Trees Forever organization has beautifed the parks.

smacko commented 12/08/2007

My family made numerous bike riding trips out to the new playground equipment this summer. My girls love it!! My 18-month old loves all the climbing. Scary at first, but she has it mastered now. It's great because we don't have anything like that at our house. Many thanks to all who made it happen!!!! BELIEVE!!!!

Wapello is a great community to raise children. A place where neighbors still chat in the yard and watch out for one another. Friendly waves from passerby's a really wholesome place to be.

Hi to all my friends from the former IRC (International Resistance Company) of Burlington, Iowa and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Does Paul Wonders still reside in Wapello? I recently enjoyed visiting the Wapellow Historic Museum. It is terrific! Best wishes from El Paso (the Texas one not the Illinois one). Keith Butler
