Farm City Days offered a weekend jam-packed with fun and activities. It was a beautiful fall day for a parade, with bright, sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s. Events kicked off Friday with a community dinner and games including a pedal tractor pull.
Celebrating their 50th reunion, the Iola High School Class of 1974 went retro with their look for the parade. Representing the class are, from left, Diana Hinson Deeds, Stephanie Cyrus Ostrander, Bessie Gregory Crowell, Debbie Ruckman Scheibmeir and Elbert Nelson.
