Without the cooperative spirit between USD 408 and the City of Marion, the new indoor swimming pool might not have been possible.

Because of this cooperative spirit, Marion Kiwanis Club chose as the theme for this year’s Old Settlers Day “Team Work Makes the Dream Work: USD 408 and the City of Marion — Building for the Future.”

Veterinarian Brendan Kraus opened his new facility, Spur Ridge Vet Hospital, on Monday at 901 Industrial Rd. in Marion Industrial Park.

Alex Hajek and Josie Peterson were crowned king and queen Friday prior to Centre’s homecoming game against Hope.

Friday is homecoming at Marion High School. Queen candidates are Julia Zeiner, Kristen Steinborn, and Lindsay Hett. King candidates are Tylor Neil, Brian Fruechting, and Sheldon Boone.
