ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sioux Center Women’s Expo – October 23 & 24

The annual Women's Expo is two days of shopping, fun, and entertainment designed specifically for women of all ages. It is not a home show. It is not a craft show. It is an expo where attendees can shop and enjoy fantastic seminars, a concert by Revelation, the conclusion of a week-long "Pamper-me Package" for two well-deserving local women, and a huge array of exhibits representing areas of health, food, fashion, home décor, cosmetics and more!  

Friday evening will be the "Friday Night Premiere" and will give women an opportunity to enjoy time of uninterrupted shopping from 6:30 – 8:30pm at New Life Reformed Church. A coffee bar and snacks will be available for purchase benefitting the Bridge.

Following the Sioux Center Women’s Expo Friday Night Premiere, all vendors and shopping guests are invited to the Ridge Golf Club for a FREE wine tasting and live band. Come back to New Life on Saturday from 9:00am-2:00pm! The day will include a light breakfast and lunch with proceeds benefiting the Family Crisis Center, plus seminars and entertainment! And as always, we have many great door prizes to give away both days! So grab your girlfriends, your mom, your daughter, your grandma, and of course, your purse and make a weekend of the Women's Expo! Visit for more information!

Ireton Christian School will be celebrating their 100th Anniversary on Saturday, July 23, 2016.  Many events are being planning for the day along with a program and catered meal.  More information will be coming out as we get closer.  Please mark the date on your calendar and come help us celebrate reaching this milestone.  If you know of any Ireton Christian alumni, please let them know and help us spread the word.  Thanks!

October gave a party;
The

leaves by hundreds came,

The Ashes, Oaks, and Maples,


And leaves of every name.


The sunshine spread a carpet,


And every thing was grand;


Miss Weather led the dancing; 


Professor Wind, the band....


The sight was like a rainbow


New-fallen from the sky....
