[edit] River Phest?

Deleted paragraph: "The city is best known for its annual festival - River Phest, an annual event sponsored by Van Meter natives Luke Jennings & Buzz. Luke Jennings' secret ambision is to become an aligator wrestler (in honor of the late Steve Irwin)."

My boyfriend has lived in Van Meter his entire life and has never heard of River Phest. Also, the info about Luke and Buzz, especially Luke's secret abition, is unrelated and not necessary. Tygartl1 19:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding income

Deleted: "The amount of money is increasing, because housing developements make land prices go higher. The current owners of farm ground will profit nicely from developement."

Assuming good faith, the wording and insinuations of this are somewhat inappropriate. If you really feel this should be included, please try to find an appropriate way to re-word it. Tygartl1 20:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
