MOUNTAIN HOME - The North Central Arkansas Military Service Sisters will be holding their November luncheon on Friday, November 18, 2022, at 12 Noon. THIS IS ONE WEEK EARLIER BECAUSE OF THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND BLACK FRIDAY.

Beginning Monday, November 14-21, it is time to Pack A Shoebox for National Collection Week. Get your shoebox packed full and drop-off at local locations to help children in need to have a Christmas.

Small, local businesses have struggled for more than a year as COVID has changed the economy. The holidays are a great time to drive home the idea that shopping local is important to your community. Our Shop Local for the Holidays sections has ideas for ways consumers can spend their money locally this year, from patronizing retailers to restaurants to local artists.

We would like to show our appreciation to all the local businesses that advertise with us here at The Mountaineer Echo. Whether it be that you place weekly ads, special ads, or just one-time ads, we really appreciate you and your advertising.

The members of Yellville Masonic Lodge No. 117 (chartered in 1858) would like to thank all those people and businesses that helped make this year’s community support events successful. Specifically, Allen’s Grocery in Summit, Flower’s Bakery in Harrison, the families of Debbie Grinder, and Misty Haynes, as well as all those Freemasons who help in their characteristically discreet way, are all owed a big thank you!

When I walk into our canteen and look around there is a sea of veterans from in their 30’s to in their 80’s. I know them all at least by their first names and a lot of them by their last names. When I pull into the parking lot of Harps and Wal-Mart, I see veteran license plates on numerous vehicles.

Veterans Day is November 11. The Mountaineer Echo, Cotter Schools teachers and administration, along with students and parents would like to express their sincerest gratitude to all Veterans for the sacrifices made in defense of the United States of America.
