Enjoy the special pull-out section recognizing 30 teams that bring you local, high school sports for the fall. The edition carries team photos, schedules and stories, making it a perfect keepsake edition for the season and for remembrance too! Who doesn’t want to remember their days on the high school team?
Each year, businesses, churches, hospitals, local representatives, organizations, schools and more make note or celebrate another year of service to their community as well. Check out The Call’s thank you list on 16B, the back page of the Fall Sports section.
The Salvation Army is listed first, recognizing the oldest to the youngest of those on the list who serve the community. The Salvation Army is 145 years old, and the local flower shop, Kruse-Grimm-Brix Florist, turns 128 years old in 2025.
