Hy-Vee honors local heroes

Falls City Hy-Vee hosted a Kids Club event on Saturday, November 7, in the store’s parking lot. The “Card for Heroes” event featured representatives from the Falls City Volunteer Ambulance Squad, the Verdon Volunteer Fire Department, the Hiawatha National Guard, the Richardson County Sheriff’s Department, and the Falls City Police Department. The event allowed Kids Club members and area youth to thank local heroes. Cards were available for coloring and filling out to thank veterans and all who serve the community. Store Manager Clint Sailors said the collected cards will be on display Wednesday, November 11, at the Veterans Day breakfast at the Falls City Elks Lodge and for the rest of the month in the store. The breakfast is free to all veterans and active military personnel from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Sailors said he previously collected cards from North and South School and from Sacred Heart.
