Welcome Home! by Janice McFarlane

The last four months my son in law who is a sergeant in the Royal Air Force has been deployed out in Akrotiri, Cyprus. It was his second tour there in twelve months. Its always hard for the families being without the other parent for several months and the amount of times Paul has been on deployment in various parts of the world you would think the family would be used to it by now but it is always a trying time and on occasion a struggle. Paul had already been delayed an extra week and its been tense wondering what was going to happen because of Middle Eastern conflict. Thankfully last Sunday he was on his way back home. He always likes to surprise the boys so they dont know the day. It was a fabulous surprise for them and Otto their dog insisted he had first dibs at cuddles.

My … by Carol Clarke

… youngest grandchildren were competing at our local athletics club in a Mini League on Sunday. It was a lovely day with lots of competitors in a lovely friendly atmosphere. Austin age 10 ran in the 100 metres and came 2nd with a new PB (personal best). Olivia age 13 was competing in the 300 metres and the relay and came 1st in both!! She had been running on the Saturday too, but I wasnt there and once again she came 1st in her race!

Mason City Band Festival 2025 by Judith Henry

Every year we have the Mason City band festival parade. It is a great time to support local businesses, area bands, family and friends. We eat carnival food in the park. My favorite is the funnel cakes. There are carnival rides and games. There are also local craft items for sale. Friends and families line the street to watch the grand marshal ride in their convertibles.
