Clutier still picking up the pieces

The Clutier Fun Day Bohemian Plum Festival was Saturday, about a month after the derecho.

KWWL:

After that storm there were some questions if this town celebration would happen. But people here were bound and determined to clean up, go on with their lives, and celebrate a community comeback.

Just a little more than three weeks ago Clutier’s main street was filled with debris, power lines, and tree branches covered the streets.

…The storm also destroyed the town’s post office. Mail boxes are now in Clutier to recieve mail, but for some outgoing mail – residents must drive to Dysart.

That last paragraph leads me to think the permanent closure of the (even then temporary) post office is a done deal. Dysart, like Clutier, has a ZIP code based off Cedar Rapids.
