Welcome to February in Adel.
One of my best memories of February in Adel go back to when the girls were in scouts.
I was privileged to accompany the three of them to several "Daddy Daughter" dances held at the Val Air Ballroom. We would dress up in our best clothes, eat pizza and dance to the "oldies" of the 60's. We had a great time and I'm pretty sure Lori enjoyed the quiet for a few hours. The next time I'd dance with them was at our daughter's wedding.
A while back the ADM Prom committee started hosting "Daddy Daughter dances at the high school as a fundraising event. They went one farther by including a "Mother Son" bowling event at the Adel Family Fun Center. This month continues that great tradition for a new generation that probably dances to "oldies" from the 90's.
The Newsletter this month is full of Concert dates, Shopping, Upcoming Events, news from around town, and more!
So get somewhere warm and cozy, grab a cup of coffee or cocoa and settle in for a good read. We look forward to seeing you in Adel in the upcoming months!

Raccoon River Valley Trail Banquet Cancelled |
|
With regret, the Raccoon River Valley Trail Association board of directors has made the decision to cancel the 2022 banquet due to rising COVID positivity rates in Central Iowa.
The banquet was scheduled for February 26. This is the Association’s biggest fundraiser of the year so it was a difficult decision to make.
However, we needed to put safety first and decided that it would not be wise to have so many people gathered together inside.
We hope to host the banquet next year.
Thank you for your support of the trail and look forward to seeing you on the trail in 2022.
