A Ringgold county farm couple is one of
four couples from across the state to be named Iowa Master Farmers by Wallaces Farmer magazine this year.
Lee and Martha FARIS of Mount Ayr have been chosen in this year's program. The Iowa Master Farmer program
was started by Henry A. WALLACE in 1926 and since then just 390 farm families have received the award.
Plans for the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa
(RAG-BRAI) is now underway, according to committee co-chair Sandy LAMB. The route through Mount Ayr for Tuesday,
July 22, has been set along with work for arranging booths and entertainment. The RAGBRAI riders will come
into Mount Ayr from the west on Highway 2 after leaving Bedford. The riders will be directed to take
Shellway Drive past the Ringgold County Hospital to Madison Street, follow Madison Street to the square
where food, entertainment and activities will be going on. The bikers will then be asked to take Taylor
Street back to Highway 2.
Joe RICKER of Mount Ayr, son of Brent and Martha RICKER, won the state
championship in the kindergarten heavyweight class at the 2003 AAU Super Pee Wee state folkstyle wrestling
championships in Waterloo.
