Manly Junction Signal

This week's Manly Signal includes information on Central Springs Holiday concerts.
The Nora Springs Elementary concert listed in the Signal has already taken place, and will not be held on December 21.
Two of the concerts, the high school and Manly elementary feature the wrong dates, but the correct days of the week.
The high school concert is set for this evening, Thursday, December 12, at 6:15 p.m.
The Manly Elementary concert will take place this Monday, December 16, at 6 p.m.

The Signal apologizes for the error and hopes everyone enjoys the concerts.

The area is in the midst of holiday celebrations. That includes some beautiful and impressive lighting displays throughout the area.
The Manly Signal is holding a contest, inviting people to share their displays. Just email us at [email protected] or comment on the lighting post on our page with your address, as well as a picture if you would like.
Or if you have seen a display that is worth sharing, please share the address, as well as a picture if you have one.
The lights should be in Manly or the surrounding communities and rural areas.
We will be sharing some of the displays in an upcoming issue or issues of the Signal.
We will also pick a winner, with some input from comments on pictures on our page, or on email suggestions.
The winner will receive a free subscription or renewal to the Manly Signal, as well as a subscription to gift to someone else.

This week's Signal features incorrect information on the program for Grafton's Memorial Day celebration. The corrected information is as follows:

Memorial Day Services will be held at the Grafton Cemetery on Monday, May 27th, beginning at 10 a.m. Participating will be the American Legion Honor Guard and the St. Ansgar Middle School Band. Services will be conducted by Post Commander, Philip Hackbart. This year's guest speaker will be Leon Christianson, a business owner from Lake Mills. Leon has been active in Veterans Affairs for many years, organizing Operation LZ in Forest City, to give Vietnam Veterans a proper "Welcome Home", which many had not received. He has also been instrumental in organizing Honor Flights for Veterans. Special music will be provided by Will Bartz. Brittany Bartz will share Memorial Day tributes. In case of inclement weather, services will be held in the Grafton Community Center. All are welcome to attend this service to honor those who have served our country.
