Minnie Lane recognizes area firefighters with donations

Minnie Lane’s Owner Melody Blair proudly holds a firefighter’s boot to welcome any monetary donations from the community. Maryville Fire Department Captain Phil Rickabaugh notes his appreciation to Blair as well as anyone who gives. From now until just before Christmas, Minnie Lane will raise funds and awareness for the Nodaway County volunteer firefighters. In Nodaway County there are 13 fire districts and over 200 courageous men and women who volunteer to be firefighters. “They mostly have to pay for their own gas and training. Please stop in and give a little help for such deserving people,” said Blair.

NH FFA donates to Skidmore Food Pantry

One of the Christmas giving projects undertaken by the Nodaway-Holt FFA group was to provide Thanksgiving meal bags to the Skidmore Food Pantry. Outside of the Skidmore City Hall, the animal science class and senior FFA Officers delivered the meal bags.

Kaitlyn O’Riley and Parker Prettyman shopped for the items which went into the Thanksgiving meal bags that the NH FFA donated to the Skidmore Food Pantry. Helping them was Alexis Maurer, not pictured.
