Have a Happy Halloween

Iola News

Have you heard of the newest store to hit Iola? The Mercantile at Main St. Market is now open and ready for business. The store is made of 20 different vendors with more to come. The hours of operation are Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. till 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. I was able to visit last week and there are some amazing finds. Available for purchase are antiques, furniture, clothing and home décor. One vendor available makes custom wood end tables. In the front of the shop are some truly unique air plants with metal, wood and glass elements. The store has so many neat things. Robin the owner was so kind and helpful, and makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the doors. I also found the pieces to be very reasonably priced. This would be a great place to pick up some gifts for the holidays.

There is a raffle for a signed 2017 Jose Altuve World Series jersey. Tickets are $5 each or $20 for five. The fundraiser is for Iola Athletic booster club. The drawling will be held at the final Iola home game against Bartlett Nov. 8.

school appropriate costume,

Varsity football will faceoff in Bremond this Friday

p.m.
