Shine Like Sable, the Comet Cupboard, and City of Mason have been champions of kindness ensuring Mason City School’s students facing food insecurity have access to the essentials they need to thrive.
We are thrilled to invite you to our 2nd Annual Spooktacular Costume 5K Walk and Run on October 31st at Corwin M. Nixon Park. This family friendly event encourages participants of all ages to showcase their most creative Halloween costumes and enjoy a dog and stroller friendly course winding through the heart of Mason.
