Four barns in the listening area are being featured in the Iowa Barn Foundation's 2024 All-State Tour scheduled for the end of this summer. The self-guided tours are scheduled on Sept. 14 and 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with more than 90 barns on the route. Chosen barns have either received a restoration grant from the Iowa Barn Foundation or have received the foundation's Award of Distinction or Preservation Award. The self-guided fall tour is free and open to the public. An online tour guide is available by clicking this highlighted link. The Iowa Barn Foundation, a volunteer-led non-profit, aims to maximize member donations to provide restoration grants for the state's historic barns. Since its founding in 1997, the foundation has awarded $2.3 million in grants, helping to save nearly 300 barns.

The Carroll City Council is working to determine how to proceed with restoration work after a fire destroyed the shelter house in Northwest Park last month. JEO Consulting examined the structure to determine if it could be salvaged, and the JEO engineer, William Murphy, says the damage was extensive.

SOAR Admits Over 300 Raptors In 2023. A Carroll County-based non-profit raptor rehabilitation organization, Saving Our Avian Resources (SOAR), rescued more than 300 birds in 2023, according to its annual report released (Wednesday).

The Audubon City Council has amended the town’s fireworks ordinance due to the high number of complaints received over the Fourth of July holiday. The new ordinance states that an individual must be a minimum of 100 feet away from a neighboring property before discharging a firework unless consent has been given by other community members living in the area.

Even though the Lyon County Fair started this week in a new location, participants are still enjoying showcasing their animals during the livestock show.

Sixteen-year-old Dylan Mulder of George showed his chickens and ducks during the Lyon County Fair.

“County and state fairs aren’t about winning — they’re all about learning,” Mulder said. “I really enjoy it and I think it's great for the kids to learn and come out here and just learn things from the judge.”
