Good morning, Council Bluffs.

The Pottawattamie County Fair returns to the fairgrounds in Avoca today through Monday.

Council Bluffs' Westfair Fairgrounds and Amphitheater will host attractions and 4-H events from July 22 to 26, inviting fairgoers to enjoy local exhibits and activities.

Iowa Travel Industry Partners awarded tourism honors in Council Bluffs to the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, Pottawattamie Arts, Culture and Entertainment, and Unleash Council Bluffs Executive Director Mark Eckman to recognize their roles in drawing visitors — celebrating the city's cultural attractions.

MidAmerican Energy requested a rate increase that may add about $2.89 to monthly natural gas bills for Council Bluffs residents.

The proposal is pending regulatory review and could lead to higher utility costs soon.
