During the recent funeral procession for Caleb Starr there was much discussion about purchasing a larger American Flag for when draped across the street by two trucks.
The current flag is 12' x 18' and will still be used when one truck is being used. I would keep the current rope and carabiners with that flag as it is set up for a flag that size. I have recently ordered the 20' x 30' flag through the American Legion. Several people have asked to donate toward its purchase. If you, your family, or friends would like to help, the following is a description of what is needed:
Scope: Purchase a 20' x 30' Polyester American Flag through the American Legion
1/2" x 150 ft blue static rope to keep with the flag
8 - carabiners
Trunk or container to store the flag in
Thanks,
Kerry Minshall
Mason Fire Chief

2020 Ingham County Fairgrounds and Fair Foundation Livestock Expo was a huge success!
MASON, MI - The Ingham County Fair week looked different this year, but through the hard work of the Fair Foundation it was wildly successful. Fair week featured Horse and Livestock Shows as well as large and small animal auctions for Ingham County youth who were enrolled in any youth organization in Ingham County.
Through the generous donations of over 100 businesses and community members, the Fair Foundation was able to raise all the money needed to cover the expenses for the event including ribbons and awards, medical professionals, face coverings and all other expenses.
“This was about the kids. The Fair Foundation is proud to have been able to gain the support of the community to help the kids show and sell their animals at the auction,” said Fair Foundation President Steve Taylor.
The auction saw the highest dollar amount per animal in the history of the Fair. “I am proud we were able to pull this together this year. It was important to us from the beginning to be able to provide a safe way to do the auction in person. I am grateful for all the backing from the community and everyone’s willingness to follow all safety guidelines to support the kids,” Lindsey McKeever, Fairgrounds Events Director said.
The Fair Board is looking forward to planning a more traditional Fair in 2021, which is set to be held August 2-7.

THANK YOU!
Please accept our sincere thanks for your participation in the MACC 47th Annual Golf Classic on July 23, 2020 at Eldorado Golf Course. Taking into account the current economic situation and COVID-19, we were overwhelmed with the amount of support this year. We filled the course with our largest number of golfers yet. Your sponsorship and registrations will contribute to THREE Aggie Corner Community Volunteerism Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 awarded to Mason High School graduates for 2021. Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial generously offered to present a matching fund to the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce increasing the value of these scholarships from $500 to $1,000 each. In addition, the net proceeds this year will contribute to the Chamber fund balance. This fund balance is used to bring free public events downtown Mason such as our Thursday Night Live Concert Series, Independence Day Parade, Holidays Lighted Parade, and Small Business Saturday "Cocoa on the Corner". Thank you to our wonderful volunteers. We look forward to our MACC 48th Golf Classic next year.
