In Rock Valley area residents formed a board led by AL Porter and others to establish Valley Manor. The facility expanded quickly with a new wing containing a chapel and rooms, offering private suites with modern amenities and 24 hour nurse calls. Services include post operative care, physical therapy, barber and beauty services, and flexible visiting policies.
The Bee Hive Variety, opened in 1948 and later moved locations, changed hands several times. In 1982 Pete Jatsma sold to Harold Van Onerlos and Henry Vandy Bok, and the same year acquired the Ben Franklin Variety Store. The shop later moved to a remodeled building in September 1866 and is managed by Inez Kettler.
The Rock Valley Bee reports on the long history of the annual flower show begun in 1836 by the Federated Women’s Club.
