Another great North Iowa Band Festival parade is in the books, I have just one concern or suggestion to be offered. I think all Veterans - American Legion, Vietnam Veterans, and Marine Corp League - should be in a place of honor at the start of the parade instead of mixed in following cars, …
What's with the fixation on drones and the desire to regulate in Britt? You'd think they were falling out of sky comparable to the German bombing of London in WW2, all the while putting a live feed on Facebook from your bedroom window. You want to do something in the name of safety? Let's st…
The North Iowa Farmers Market started its summer market season on May 19, despite the rainy weather. Vendor expectations were cautiously optimistic about the day, and rightfully so. The opening market is usually slow, a lot of produce isn't in season yet and the market moved this year from t…
