We are now looking forward to several exciting events during the month of September and October.

War Monument located on the Courthouse grounds This event will kick off at 1:30 p.m.
Tuesday, October 7: We will have a very special evening for honoring veterans who gave their all at Normandy.
Mr. Bobby Burrows, a Ringgold County Son, will be with us to share pictures and experiences from his trip to the Normandy
and other cemeteries in Europe. This will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. at the American Legion Hall in Mount Ayr. More later.
Next big news item: We were notified that two Ringgold County residents have been selected to be on the next
Korean War Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, Sept. 30. Residents Harold Cooper and Jim Hullinger have been
selected for this wonderful trip to DC to see the Veteran's memorials. They will travel to Des Moines on Monday,
