Congratulations!

Congratulations to our very own Michael Meyer, our 2025 Stir-Up King!

Mike has been an integral part of both Fire and Rescue here in Ashland, 43 years on the Fire side and 44 years on Rescue. He retired from LFR as Captain at Station 10 after 30 years and continues to volunteer for both departments. This honor is well-deserved!

Save the date and tell a friend! The Wahoo First UMC Youngish Adult homegroup is working to bring Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to Wahoo! This fabulous program sends a free book to children between the ages of 0-5 every month--we're starting off with just the city of Wahoo, but we'd love to expand to all of Saunders County in the future!
To launch the program and raise some funds for shipping costs, we are teaming up with the Wahoo Public Library for a trivia night. The entry fee is $5/person, and teams can have 4-8 people of any age. Childcare will be available for $10/kid, and snacks will be available for purchase as well.
Think you can assemble the brainiest crew in Wahoo? Register your team here: https://forms.gle/YSb7EPce6rGFpde49
