Christmas Guests Spread Across Cedar Valley in Era
A flood of Christmas Day and holiday visits filled homes across St. Cloud to West Union as families such as the Don Nylund, McNally, Yearous, Roethlisberger, Lembke, Shaffer, Frieden, and Yearous clans exchanged greetings. Notable gatherings occurred in Arlington, Elkader, Oelwein, Waterloo, and Wadena, with multiple dozen households hosting relatives from Mason City to Dubuque and beyond. The Myria Community Church plans a Sunday service with Holy Communion on January 4.
