Although Memorial Day weekend will be filled with festive fun in Mason City, it is very important to take the time to remember the real reason why we have this long holiday weekend and can enjoy events such as the North Iowa Band Festival. Memorial Day is a holiday for us to honor and remember those brave men and women of the United States armed services who have sacrificed so much to protect us and our freedoms. Please show your appreciation to veterans and active service members this holiday weekend and beyond.

Jane Fischer & Associates extends the sincerest THANK YOU to all current and retired United States military members for your service! We wish everyone in North Iowa a very happy & safe Memorial Day weekend!
