On the morning of Friday, September 11, the City of Mason Police and Fire Department will have a presence at the City of Mason 9/11 Memorial inside the Mason Municipal Center to lead a community-wide moment of silence corresponding with the times that each plane struck as part of the attacks. 🇺🇸 Let's come together as a community to honor and reflect the twenty-fifth anniversary of September 11, 2001.

One of the things I am really happy to see is more opportunities for you, the Mason community, to get involved in what's happening in our city.

🎉 During Red, Rhythm, and Boom, we invited members of the swim team to join us on stage to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance and kick off the show.

👂🏻 Tuesday evening, 10 of you came out to A Seat at the Table to share your thoughts, concerns, and questions with us. We had an energetic conversation about the pros and cons of development (it looks better but it brings traffic), navigating around town (one zone has been not-so-affectionately dubbed "Mason Raceway"!), and what the city can do to enforce property maintenance standards, especially on vacant business properties.

Tonight, we're hosting another A Seat at the Table at 7pm at Common B**r Company, and I'll be at another one at 11am on July 28.

If you can't make any of these, please feel free to message me or send me an email. I read every message and do my best to respond to each one. joyformason at gmail dot com.

The Mason Market on the Mile is open now! Get your goodies before they’re gone. (I’m out of town, but I’ve deputized my husband to bring home my favorite bread and farm-fresh veggies.)

From sweet treats and artisan breads to local honey, pasture-raised eggs, handcrafted goods, and fresh coffee, there's something for everyone at the Mason Market on the Mile.

Join us Saturday, July 11, from 10 AM–1 PM at the Mason Plaza and spend your morning shopping local, supporting small businesses, and discovering your new favorite vendor. We can't wait to see you there! 🛍️💚

🇺🇸Happy Independence Day, Mason! 🎉

Yesterday’s Red Rhythm and Boom went incredibly well, despite the scorching heat. Huge thanks to the City of Mason City - Government staff who did such a good job planning for and running this event. The bands were fantastic, and the drones added so much to the finale!

Did you attend? If so, what was your favorite part?

🚨 Unfortunately, the rain has forced the city to cancel tonight's Music in Mason concert. Stay dry, and we'll see you next Friday for Red, Rhythm, and Boom!

New blog post today with an update on some of the changes we've made as a council. I'd love to know what you think!

It was a beautiful day to celebrate. We still have work to do to fully embody our ideals of freedom and justice for all, and it’s good to mark days like this one along the way.
