 Among the events expanded this year was the Shenandoah American Legion Post flag retirement ceremony, which was narrated by Shenandoah Mayor Roger McQueen. Several kids' activities also lined the evening, including bounce houses, carnival games, and a corn-eating contest. And while supplemental nutrition assistance program discussions have bogged down the passage of a farm bill, Iowa Congressman Randy Feenstra is hopeful a resolution will be reached by the end of the year.
